SACRAMENT PROGRAM
 Sacraments are special signs of the Sacred where we connect with our God. The experiences of these sacred encounters draw us into relationship with God who strengthens us along our journey of faith. Parents who actively practice their faith and participate in their child’s learning make the reception of a sacrament a true celebration and holy experience for themselves and their child.
Parent meetings are a required component of sacrament preparation. In addition to personal self-enrichment, these meetings inform parents about what is expected as their child prepares to receive a sacrament. It is important that at least one parent attends these meetings.
All sacrament and meeting dates are given to parents at the beginning of the new school year in a Sacrament Information Brochure.
