Teen Sacramental prep is offered for anyone in middle or high school who is interested in preparing for the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, and Eucharist.

Preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation is a separate preparation. For more information on preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation click here.

We are overjoyed that these young people want to grow closer to Christ and His Church through the sacramental life.

They are held on Sunday afternoons from 1:30-3pm in English and Spanish on October 8, December 3, 2023 for First Reconciliation and on February 11 and April 21, 2024 for First Communion.
