To Participate in the Program:

• Your family must be registered parishioners and reside within the boundaries of St. Paul. If you reside outside the boundary we may require permission from your parish of residence. 

• Proof of Catholic baptism is required for children to receive the sacraments of First Communion or Confirmation.

• The programs for sacramental preparation are a blend of some at home formation combined with mandatory attendance at all scheduled meetings. 

• Parents are required to attend in person meetings with their child as their presence and support are an integral element of the sacramental preparation program.

• The preparation for Confirmation starts end of October and the sacrament is received end of January. The preparation for First Communion begins in November and is celebrated early May.

• If your child is not preparing for a sacrament but you would like to know about Catechesis options that are not sacramentally based, please reach out to Arden Ouellette directly for further information.

​

Further inquiries can be made by emailing Pastoral Minister, Arden Ouellette.
