Registration
Registration was open from April 1st-May 31st and again from August 1st-August 16th. 

Fee
The fee for the 2024 preparation process is $50 per child and payment information will be provided after the registration interview.  

Interview
The child and their parent attend the interview. A copy of the child's baptism certificate is due at that time. A sign up for interviews has been provided to the families that registered for the process. 

Ministry Leaders for sacrament preparation
All adult parishioners who are well formed in the Catholic faith, and have a desire to share their love of the sacraments with the children of the parish are encouraged to prayerfully consider serving in the leadership team for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist for the 2023-2024 process.

Adults who join the leadership team serve children in 2nd-12th grade depending on the needs of our parish community. Ask God if He is calling you to serve in this ministry and be open to what God is asking you to do.

Parent Formation
Parents who do not serve as ministry leaders will attend the formation sessions. 

Safe Environment
Reminder, all adults (parents and legal guardians) participating in the process must also complete the online safe environment training prior to attending formation sessions.  Please use this link (click here) to create an account and attend the digital training.
