Children of the parish are prepared for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist in the second grade. The Archdiocese of Newark requires that a child attend religious education classes for at least two years prior to the reception of any sacrament. Special preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist is done by the parents/guardians of the children under the supervision and guidance of the Religious Education staff. Special preparation is also provided for children above the second grade level who have not received these sacraments.

Church’s Universal Prayers:

• The Our Father
• The Hail Mary
• The Glory Be
• The Act of Contrition
• The Sign of the Cross

FIRST COMMUNION

Parents will guide their child through the textbook, “Celebrating Our Faith”, one chapter a week beginning in February and ending in April, just prior to First Communions.

Confirmation is the sacrament in which those who have been baptized receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit. “Confirmation renews and strengthens the Christian’s baptismal call to bear witness to Christ before the world and work eagerly for the building up of His body (the Church). Confirmed Christians claim as fully their own the new life into which they were first initiated at Baptism.” (National Catechetical Directory, #118)
