Sacramental Preparation

For parents and godparents preparing for the Baptism of their children

Baptism Preparation Classes will be offered in a group setting with parents and godparents together. The Saturday morning class will be held from 9:00 am until noon. Dn. Ron and Levina Herr and their team will be conducting the classes. Lunch and child care will be provided.

Class materials are $20 per family.  

Watch the Bulletin and Website for class times.  
 

In order to begin, children must know right from wrong, and their parents' have discerned they are ready.

Sacramental Preparation for First Confession and First Communion will be conducted as Family Cohorts with Mentor Families. A cohort will consist of a mentor family and five to seven other families and their children preparing for the Sacraments.  They will attend Mass together and then meet for an hour and fifteen minutes before or after Mass to work through the lesson together for that week. The cohort members will decide whether before or after Mass. These cohorts will be offered three times this year.  The child must complete the First Confession section before beginning the First Communion section. This places the responsibility and decision-making concerning Sacraments and a child’s readiness to receive them in the hands of the parents. Sacraments are received in communities; therefore, this style of preparation forms a community of support for both families and their children preparing for Sacraments.

The cost will be $75 per child.
