As the Church grew, the meal was simplified. People came together in small house churches to share the eucharistic bread and wine, they added Scripture readings and preaching in instruct one another in the faith. Today the Mass brings us together as a parish community and we remember, we celebrate and believe in the presence of Christ among us. Preparation for first Eucharist begins when a child enters third grade. Parents are required to attend information sessions held during the year.
Sacraments are to be celebrated within and among the believing community.
Questions regarding policy should be referred to the Director of Religious Education at 683-8564. At Baptism, each of us was imbued with the threefold ministry of Christ, as priest, prophet and King. The initial outpouring of the Holy Spirit was received at that moment. Confirmation enables us to live faithfully, our Christian calling. Confirmation is also recorded for us in the early Church by the laying on of hands and later with anointing on the forehead.
