Sacramental Preparation
Welcome to this very special time of Sacramental Preparation! The Sacramental life of our parish is our deepest expression of who we are. All sacraments are community celebrations of our encounters with the risen Lord in the most important moments of our lives. Since these sacramental celebrations are central to us as a Catholic Community, together we enter into this time of preparation with much joy and anticipation of shared experiences.
Each time we receive a sacrament, we choose to enter deeper into our relationship with Jesus and respond in a new way to His call to discipleship. Therefore, the decision to receive a sacrament belongs to the individual. However, in the case of children, readiness to receive the sacrament is discerned by the child in concert with his/her parents and parish community. A sincere commitment to preparation, catechesis, and prayerful attention to growth in faith must precede the decision to receive a sacrament for the first time.
