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.
In addition to the above, preparation for these sacraments includes the following:
• Registration in STA parish or permission from your Pastor to receive the Sacrament/s at STA
• Receipt of a copy of the Child’s Baptismal Certificate
• Attendance scheduled Religious Education classes and Communion Retreat
• Attendance at Weekly Mass is expected
• Knowledge of all required prayers and understanding of the Eucharist Preparation Text
• Readiness to receive the Sacrament
• Parent/s’ attendance at the Parent Sacrament Meetings First Reconciliation Meeting is on 10/7/2021 @ 7pm Application & Fee information will be given out at our Communion Meeting on 2/24/22 @7pm
We will need parents help in having the children MEMORIZE the following:
