ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION
This program is for parents, youth and children involved in the preparation for the sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Communion and/or Confirmation.
Baptismal preparation of infant children begins with attendance at a class on Baptism. For times and location of classes check our information page. To schedule a date for a Baptism, contact the Pastor.
Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion is done in grade 2. Children in the parish religion program (YES) and in St. Ann School receive preparation in their religion classes. Parents attend classes approximately once every two months. Reconciliation is celebrated in the winter and First Communion in the Spring..
Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is done in the Spring and is offered to anyone of high school age. The process emphasizes formation, prayer, worship, and service within the parish community. Retreats, special liturgies, formation classes, service projects, parent/sponsor/candidate activities and community building shape the preparation process.
Special sacramental classes are offered to children and teens who have missed any of the Sacraments of Initiation. Children attend Sunday religion classes in the grade they are in school. In addition, the children gather for “catch-up” lessons in basic Catholic teachings and sacraments.
Preparations and arrangements for the Sacrament of Marriage are made four to six months in advance with the Pastor.
