Preparation for first sacraments
Holy Spirit-St. Joseph Parish welcomes all children in Grade 2 or older to begin preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
Sacramental preparation for children and their parents takes place at home and in church. The program is designed for parents to be the primary teacher of the faith for their children. Ideally, the celebration of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist is a gift that both of you will cherish and continue to celebrate together throughout your lives.
In order to support parents, Holy Spirit-St. Joseph offers three parent-child sessions in the church so that families and children can build community as well as develop a deeper understanding of the sacraments.
