Sacramental Preparation

Before preparing to receive a sacrament, you may require an updated Baptismal Certificate.  This certificate is a record of all the sacraments you have received.  Please print the Request for Updated Baptismal Certificate, fill it out, and return it to the parish office.
 
Parents are the first catechists, first evangelists, and their children’s first teachers. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2221–2231) spells out in great detail what is expected of the parents in the education of their children.
 
For all parents of children who did not yet receive the SACRAMENTS [Baptism, Holy Communion and Confirmation]  
 
PLEASE NOTE:
  • Children in grade 2 and those who did not yet celebrate First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion, this is the time to prepare your children for the sacraments of First Holy Reconciliation & First Holy Communion.
  • Children in grade 7 and those who did not yet receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, this is the time to prepare your children for the sacrament of Confirmation.
  • Check with the parish office to ensure you are a registered parishioner.  If not, register now. 
  • The parish registration form is available in the office and on our parish website. 
  • A letter will also be given to the children before the school year ends and will also be published in the school's newsletter. 
  • For the sacramental preparations the registration meeting usually takes place in September. 
 

Before receiving the sacraments, some preparation is required.  The necessary registration forms and schedules are available below.

We only give one information session in a year. If you miss this information session, you will have to wait for next year.
Parents must be active parishioners of the parish.

Bring the following:
1. Completed registration form (see below)
2. Child’s Baptismal Certificate
3. First Holy Communion Certificate (only for Confirmands)
4. Letter of permission from your pastor if you are registered somewhere else.
5. Donation of $100 (cash or cheque) to defray the cost of materials used for the sacramental programs. This particular donation will not be included in your tax receipt. If this is a concern please talk to Fr. Serrano.
