Confirmation Tuesday evening April 30th at 7pm!
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is usually received by a child for the first time when he/she is in the second grade. Parents are the primary teachers of their children in matters of faith.
The parents and child would participate fully in the formation program for the preparation of this sacrament. Occasionally they should check with the teacher for information to see how they can help in their child’s preparation.
A child usually receives the Sacrament of First Holy Communion also in the second grade. The first requirement is that the child has received sufficient preparation to understand the importance of this event and has developed a reverence and respect for this sacrament. Also that he or she has received the Sacrament of Reconciliation. While the pastor and religious education staff will help, it is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that the child is made ready for First Communion. Parents are required to fully participate in the First Communion formation program. Occasionally they should check with the teacher for information to see how they can help in their child’s preparation.
Confirmation is the sacrament in which, through the laying on of hands, anointing with chrism and prayer, those already baptized are strengthened by the Holy Spirit in order that they may profess the faith and faithfully live up to their profession. They are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and are more closely linked to the Church. Those individuals desiring the sacrament of Confirmation must have reached the age of 16, be in the 11th grade or above, be enrolled in the parish faith formation program, have a history of continuous faith formation and a personal desire for this sacrament. We meet at 4pm on Sundays for faith formation in the Lumen Christi School.
