Sacraments of Initiation

A diocesan requirement for new families to the parish is that adolescents must participate in the parish Faith Formation Process for at least a year prior to entering the preparation process and be 15 years of age at the time of reception.

Christians baptized in another Christian Church

For those individuals who wish to “come into communion” with, that is, join the Catholic Church, a period of preparation and education are afforded. This period will prepare a person to make their Profession of Faith in the Catholic Community and complete their initiation through the reception of the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.

A diocesan requirement for new families to the parish is that children must participate in the parish Faith Formation Process for at least a year prior to entering the preparation process.
