RECONCILIATION AND EUCHARIST

The Archdiocese requires that Sacraments be received in the parish in which the family is registered. Sacramental preparation is the joint effort of the Parents/Guardians, Parish, and Catechists. At present, we celebrate First Reconciliation and First Eucharist in Year 2.

• Registration in STA parish or permission from your Pastor to receive the Sacrament/s at STA parish

• Attendance scheduled Religious Education classes and Communion Retreat
