in place for Baptism and Marriage as they are celebrated in our parish.

Penance

Saturdays at 3:00 p.m.
Our Reconciliation Room is located in the north vestibule colonnade.

A Communal Penance service is held during each Advent and Lent season.

First Reconciliation this year will be celebrated in the third and fourth grades. The families will receive a separate text and there is an additional meeting and a family morning retreat.


Eucharist

First Eucharist is usually celebrated in the second grade during the Easter Season. Preparation for First Eucharist is a family event. A separate family text is used and there are additional meetings.


Confirmation

Our youth celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at the end of their junior year in high school. High school juniors who attend Catholic high schools are asked to enroll in our parish Confirmation program. Contact the Director of Youth Ministry for more information.

Adult Confirmation classes are offered each year during the Lenten and Easter Seasons. Anyone over the age of 19 is welcome to attend. This class is offered in collaboration with St. Francis Borgia Church. For information, contact the Christian Formation Office.


Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the process through which adults prepare to become full members of the Catholic Church through Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming Catholic, call the Christian Formation Office (262-375-6500, extension 104).
