ARRIVALS:  When bringing your child to any of the Religious Ed classes, you must park your car and walk your child to their classroom. They must be accompanied from the parking lot by an adult, under no circumstances are they to be dropped off at the sidewalk, crosswalk or curb. 

DISMISSALS:
 All children must be picked up by their parents or authorized adults from the classroom.  The children cannot be picked up by anyone younger than 14 years old. No child will be allowed to walk outside the Formation Center alone. 

 

The Holy Communion journey is a beautiful time when your child will begin to focus on their Reconciliation and Eucharist Sacraments. A year where they will learn how to share the joy and love of Jesus with others as we help prepare their hearts and minds to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. 

The preparation of the Sacrament of First Communion is a two year journey that begins in the 1st grade.  Pre-Kindergarten and Kindegarten do not count as First Communion preparation.  If a child is 7 years old and this is their first year for any Religious Edcuation class, you will need to see  the RCIA Adapted for children page. 
 

Registrations: 

• All families who desire to participate in our religious education programs must be registered members of the Parish prior to their enrollment. 
• If your family is not registered, you may register by coming to the Main Church Office during Church Office hours or you can register online by CLICKING HERE.

 

•  To register for Holy Communion, a registration form must be completed in the Religious Education Office.

•   The Candidate must be Baptized by the Catholic Church and a Baptismal certificate must be provided upon registration.
  
  Class attendance is very important.  A child may only miss a maximum of two days during their Holy Communion year. 

 We strongly encourage our families to attend Mass every Sunday—Mass is the most powerful prayer there is; it's where Heaven meets Earth and God's Love and Mercy are poured out upon each of us, as we prepare ourselves to receive the Gift of his Body and Blood.

 The Holy Communion journey is one, that both, the Candidate and their Parent(s) will embark on.  At least one (1) parent(s) must attend the “Once a month Sacramental Class” with their child.  Also, they must attend all Parent Informational meetings, Family Activity Dates, as well as Reconciliation and Eucharist Etiquette Trainings which will be designated by the DRE.
