Sacrament preparation is a wonderful and special time. The community of Sacred Heart is blessed to partner with parents and guide them through this process.
The primary educators of the Sacraments are the parents. It is our expectation that children attend Mass on Sundays and fulfill the requirements from the Diocese and the parish.
Sacramental Preparation is a two-year process. Children must have attended either a parish faith formation program or Catholic School one year prior to the year of celebrating the Sacraments. During the second year children must attend either a parish faith formation program or Catholic school. We will extend an invitation to parents of children in their second year of faith formation to attend a parent meeting, where they will receive the materials for preparation. Sacrament preparation is separate and distinct from parish faith formation and Catholic school religion class. You will be notified of these meetings in the fall.
