To do this, we have a family-centered program. Families meet monthly for faith sharing and then work with their children at home during the coming weeks. Any family who wishes to participate in this program must attend the monthly family sessions. It is a wonderful opportunity and experience for children and families to grow together in faith. Children who are in the ninth grade and above are expected to particpate in the formal program at church since they are in remote preparation for Confirmation.
All sacramental experiences involve the family in the preparation process.
Parents also work with their children at home in the immediate preparation for a sacrament. This is for families seeking Baptism for their infants or preschool children. Parents must be registered members of the parish for at least six months, attending Sunday worship on a regular basis, and attend the Baptismal preparation sessions. Four opportunities for Baptisms are held during the year. Godparents must be registered members in good standing in a Catholic church and actively practicing their faith.
