Sacramental Preparation Baptism Preparation For the baptism of infants and children through First Grade, please refer to the Children’s Baptism tab under Sacraments on the parish web site menu. First Communion and Reconciliation Preparation Children who are already baptized normally receive First Communion and Reconciliation (Confession) in Second Grade after a two-year preparation in our parish school or Faith Formation Program. Dates for the celebration of these sacraments, and any additional activities, have not yet been determined. Confirmation Preparation Children who are baptized and have received First Communion and Reconciliation normally receive Confirmation in the Seventh Grade after a two-year preparation in our parish school or Faith Formation Program. In addition to two years of classroom attendance, Confirmation candidates also participate in a diocesan Confirmation Conference, a parish retreat, and an interview process. Dates for the celebration of Confirmation and any related activities have not yet been determined.
