First Reconciliation & First Communion

Second (2nd) graders prepare for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion

Preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion occurs over two years, with the first year focusing on helping the child begin a relationship with God and become familiar with the treasures of our Catholic Faith. The second year is spent with separate and specific formation for the two sacraments to be celebrated this year.

Confirmation

Seventh (7th) and Eighth (8th) graders prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation

Confirmation preparation is a two-phase, two-year journey towards an encounter with Jesus Christ and receiving the outpouring of the Holy Spirit through the Sacrament of Confirmation. Preparation for this sacrament begins at Baptism when a person is adopted by God into His family and is completed when a person becomes a fully initiated Catholic Christian that is called out into the world for mission. The two years within our preparation program are a small but important piece of the puzzle to prepare a person to receive this sacrament.

The Confirmation Program helps students express their readiness to conform their hearts around Jesus Christ and His Church. By completing the program requirements of commitment to deepening one’s prayer life, service hours, assignments, and study of the faith student make visible their intentions by signs and symbols a soul ready to live up to Christ’s call.

Please be aware that there are requirements for preparation that will be scheduled throughout the year.  Please fill out the sacramental record if sacraments were not received at Sacred Heart.
