Faith Formation, First Communion, and Confirmation are starting soon!
(A quick guide for parents)

First Communion

Our diocese requires two years of preparation for this sacrament. So, if your child is entering the second grade AND participated in Faith Formation or attend Sacred Heart school last year, you’ll want to register them for this sacrament. You can find the form on our website. Look under Parish Info and chose Parish Forms. Look for the First Communion Registration form under Sacraments.

Confirmation

Here too, our diocese requires two years of preparation for this sacrament. So, if your teen is entering the eighth grade AND participated in Faith Formation or attend Sacred Heart school last year, you’ll want to register them for this sacrament. Confirmation classes are part of the Middle School Youth Program which will meet Sundays from 4-5:30pm, in the Parish Hall. The first meeting will be September 11th. Both teen and a parent/ guardian must attend. You can register at that time.

Register now for Faith Formation for the 2022/2023 School Year Children not attending Catholic School are invited to attend Faith Formation classes once a week during the school year to learn more about their Catholic Faith, Scripture, and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Volunteer teachers use materials approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to teach religion classes. Curriculum follows what the Diocese requires for each grade level. We support parents who are the first and most important teachers of the Faith! You can find the form on our website. Look under Religious Education and chose Faith Formation.

Introducing the Junior Legion of Mary!

As another option for our children and teens ages 8-17, we are pleased to begin a Junior Legion of Mary group that will meet on Monday evenings in the Parish Hall beginning September 26.

The Legion of Mary is a society of over 3 million Catholic Iay persons whose ministry, guided by the Holy Spirit, performs apostolic work to give Christ to the world through the love of Mary. The main purpose of the Junior Legion of Mary is to give glory to God through the sanctification of its members and preparation of its members to enter the Senior Legion. Members meet once a week for prayer, planning and discussion in a family setting. They also dedicate one hour of works each week in pairs and under the guidance of their Spiritual Director. Look for more information next week.
