“Going to Mass and receiving the Eucharist should make a difference in the way Catholics live; they should be more accepting of others and more aware of their sinfulness.” - Pope Francis

Children preparing for the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion come to Mass each week and learn their prayers and stories from the Bible. 

While preparing for the sacraments, children participate in Generations of Faith, our parish’s faith formation process which is ongoing and intergenerational.

There is a two-year preparation period for the reception of these sacraments.  The Dynamic Catholic materials called BLESSED are used to assist parents to prepare their children for  Penance and Holy Communion.
