contact the parish office and make an appointment with Father Sappenfield.

 

1st Reconciliation and First Holy Communion (2^nd grade):
In speaking of FHC for children, the Church specifies that they distinguish the “mystery of Christ” in the
Eucharist according to their capacity and receive the sacrament with faith and devotion.
We seek to prepare them through weekly instruction and formation during regular CCD time,
and a special retreat culminating in the reception of these sacraments.

Dates for 2007-2008 2nd grade 1st Rec. and FHC are April 6, and May 18 on the PREP calendar.
A baptismal certificate must be submitted for sacrament prep.

RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation for Children, Grades 3 - 8):
 Often children miss receiving the sacraments according to the usual schedule due to relocation,
divorce, or conversion. When this is the case, they attend their own initiation classes
 during regular CCD time, designed to instruct them on the rudiments of the faith
 and prepare them to receive the sacraments.

Confirmation Prep (8^th grade):
The Church specifies that confirmands be “suitably instructed, properly disposed, and able to
renew the baptismal promises.” With these goals foremost in our minds, the preparation program
includes weekly instruction, formation requirements detailed in the confirmation workbook (contents below),
and a retreat, all culminating in Confirmation at the Cathedral on May 21st, 2008.

For older children and adults who have missed receiving the sacraments according to the usual schedule
due to conversion, relocation, divorce, or other circumstances, RCIA prepares them through their own

 and prepared to receive the sacraments of initiation, they go on to full communion with the Church at Easter Vigil.
