Baptism is the first sacrament of initiation in the Catholic Church. Through baptism we receive the free and unmerited gift of God's grace, are cleansed of the stain of original sin, and adopted as sons and daughters of God the Father.

First holy communion is usually celebrated on the last Sunday of April during a child's 2nd grade year. Preparation sessions start in the spring semester during which time the children, accompanied by their parents, grow in faith and knowledge as they prepare to receive these wonderful sacraments. Children need to be baptized prior to the reception of these sacraments.

First Communion will be celebrated on April 26, 2026 at the 10:30 a.m. Mass.

Parents can register their child for preparation by clicking the button below.

Confirmation completes the sacraments of initiation into the Christian life. By this sacrament, our Lord Jesus Christ confirms us and places in our hearts, the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Holy Spirit, granted to us in our baptism, become active within us that we may serve as instruments of the Holy Spirit in our proclamation of the Gospel message to the world.
