SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION FOR 
FIRST EUCHARIST & CONFIRMATION
Confirmation preparation, which began in the 7th grade, continued into the spring of the 8th grade for the youth of our parish.  In addition to classroom time, youth, sponsors, and parents met for educational and spiritual experiences.  . . .  104 youth were confirmed.  The 7th grade youth are expressing their faith in service with anticipation of Confirmation in spring of 2009.

Children gathered around the altar during the Eucharistic prayer as they celebrated their First Holy Communion Mass.  Altogether 139 parish children celebrated their First Eucharist on the first weekend in May.  . . .  Parents are an important part of the First Eucharist preparation.  Contact Ellen Ward at ward@rc.net or 821-2130 or 821-2132 for information.
