Sacramental Process 2025-2026

Course Description:

Please read the information carefully and if you agree with the terms of the program, we will be happy to welcome you and collaborate with you in the faith formation of your family so that your child will be prepared to receive the sacraments.

In observation of the different needs of our parish community the Faith Formation program will be in collaboration with you as a parent and your child’s first catechist. This means that classes will be held in the classroom with a catechist, and at home with you. Classroom catechesis will be available in English and Spanish for both parents and their children. Prior to the start of the formation year our office will provide you with a class calendar.

After reading the parent class information on this page, please read the appropriate section according to the sacrament your child wishes to receive, keep in mind that the formation process and requirements vary according to the sacrament(s) your child wishes to receive.

The class is only available on Thursdays from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
