So glad you dropped in. We are grateful that you have made the decision to grow in faith as a family and desire for your child to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion. 

God has many graces planned for your family during this season of preparation. Together, we will discover the great gift and power of God's healing mercy in confession and God's sustaining love in the Eucharist.

Please take a moment to register your child for this year's preparation experience. With the pandemic and changing restrictions, we are finding new and creative ways to engage the family in this amazing adventure of faith.  This includes:

• A series of guided home-study sessions for children along with digital resources supported by parish catechists
• A series of sessions targeted at parents to grow in faith and fellowship. Topics covered include prayer, the value of community, God's mercy and forgiveness, the examination of conscience, and other topics.

Registration Period:

Registration is open from Nov 26, 2020 to Dec 26, 2020. Please note that Registration, Baptism Cerfiticate, and Payment must be received by Dec 26, 2020. Registration extensions will not be granted.

Once you are registered, you will receive a communication in early January 2021 with all the preparation details and resources.

Fr. Dominic and I look forward to accompanying your family on this journey of faith. God bless you and keep you safe.
