Foundations

Baptism

For those who are not yet baptized, our program will prepare them to receive Baptism, along with Confirmation and First Communion, at Easter.For those who were baptized in a non-Catholic church, they will become Catholic by receiving Confirmation & First Communion.

Forgiveness

Reconciliation (Confession)

The Sacrament of Reconciliation regularly restores our relationship with God & with the Church. It prepares our hearts to receive the other sacraments more fully.We prepare for and receive this sacrament as part of our preparation for First Communion or Confirmation.

The Eucharist

First Communion

The Eucharist is the source and summit of our lives as Catholics.We prepare all those aged 7 and older to receive Holy Communion for the first time, and throughout their lives.

The Holy Spirit

Confirmation

The bishop confirms our baptism and we are sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit in Confirmation.We prepare those aged 11 and older for the Sacrament of Confirmation. (Prior to 2021, we typically celebrated Confirmation at the same time as First Communion.)
