First Communion/First Penance

FIRST COMMUNION/FIRST PENANCE Preparation is about to begin. Do you know any of the children listed in the linked file below? Please let their family know.

These children were all baptized in our parish. We would like to make sure that they have an opportunity to register to receive the Sacraments of First Penance and First Holy Communion. We would have missed some of them due to Covid and some are newly eligible. Can you tag a family member, shoot them a text or call the family to make sure they know about Sacramental Preparation restarting this fall. More information is available further down this page or on our Facebook Page.
