Pastoral Services
Sacramental Programs:
A very important part of our Religious Education program is preparation
for the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. The
policy of these sacraments must have had a minimum of two years of
religious education.
Sacrament of Reconciliation:
Saturdays from 4:30 TO 5:00 p.m. This is the sacrament that continues
Jesus' work of forgiving and reconciling. Usually, it is the children in the
2nd grade who are prepared for their first Confession, the telling of
their sins to a priest and receiving God's forgiveness. The reception of
this sacrament usually takes place in March.
Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist:
The Eucharist is the central act of our Catholic faith. At the Last Supper
the night before He died, Christ gave us His Body and Blood as a holy
meal and ordained his priests so that this meal could be continued for
all ages. Children are taught that the Holy Eucharist is the real Body
and Blood of Christ and what appears to be bread and wine are
actually his living Body. Children in the second grade are prepared to
receive this sacrament which usually takes place on the first Saturday
of May each year.
Confirmation:
Confirmation is intimately related to Baptism and the Eucharist as one
of the sacraments of initiation. In Confirmation, young people are
signed with the gift of the Spirit and are called to be witnesses to
Christ in the world and to continue his work of service to others. Our
young people are called to an intense preparation for this sacrament
which includes class attendance, Mass attendance, 10 hours of
Christian service and participation in various meetings and activities.
Preparation for this sacrament begins in grade 6 with the reception of
the sacrament taking place in Grade 8, usually in April or early May.
