These Sacraments are usually celebrated for the first time by children in grade 2, but can be received later if need be. Before receiving the Sacraments, a child must be Baptized (and able to provide a Baptismal certificate) and must be adequately catechized. This can take many forms, but for many kids it takes place during the grade 2 Catholic school religion program.

Our preparation program focuses on the parents of these children, by offering the Alpha Course to parents who haven’t taken it recently. We feel strongly that the best way to ensure lifelong faith is to give faith in Jesus to their parents, and help the whole family to be integrated into a vibrant faith community.
