First Reconciliation & Communion
First Communion formation centers on the Order of the Mass. Children gain an understanding of the Mass and the true presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
Children must be in the second grade or higher and have prepared for and celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least one catechetical school year earlier.

Reconciliation & Mass
The sacrament of Reconciliation re-unites us with God after our sin has separated us.
Jesus offers us himself in the Eucharist. The Eucahrist is the source and summit of our faith and we invite you to celebrate with us
Please see our events page for the next available time to joing us for Mass or celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation.
Confirmation
Confirmation formation looks at the identity and role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We help registrants understand the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and how the Gifts can help them be disciples of Christ.
Confirmation students are blessed with a sponsor to guide them in the preparation process and to present them to the bishop.
