Do you have a child you anticipate receiving First Communion or Confirmation in 2028? You MUST enroll your child THIS year to begin our new two-year sacramental preparation program. If you do not enroll them this year, they will still need to complete two years of faith formation before they will be eligible for their sacraments. Incoming 2nd graders and 6th graders for the 2026-27 school year will receive their sacraments in 2027.
