Restored Order of Sacraments of Initiation
Our diocese has developed a new approach to preparing children to receive the sacraments. This approach involves parents/guardians more closely and will foster a partnership among you, our parish faith formation coordinators, and our catechists. This method consists of a two-year preparation period.
The first (called Year 1) includes children in first or second grade and will focus on yours and your child’s relationship with God and the Church. The second (called Year 2) includes children in second or third grade. It will focus on each of the three sacraments and what children need to know so their hearts are fully prepared to receive them.
