First Reconciliation & First Eucharist Preparing Your Child for Sacraments

Registration is open now for all second grade students to begin preparing for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Formation sessions will begin in September. All First Reconciliation sessions will be held after the 10am Mass at St. Leonard in the fall. All First Eucharist sessions will be held after the 8:30am Mass at St. Frances of Rome beginning in January.

Because parents are the first and primary catechists of their children, they will have their own formation work to do while their children are learning about how to be in loving relationship with God and what it means to fully participate in the Mass as they prepare to receive the Eucharist. Our parish formation programs are designed to enable parents to answer the important questions your children may have.

Now is the time to register your young person to learn about these important sacraments. To receive the registration forms and an information packet, contact Sharon Bidwell at either parish office or send an email to sbidwell@sfrlou.org.

Calling Volunteer Catechists

If you would like to accompany our 2nd graders as they encounter Jesus through the sacraments, we need several volunteers who are willing to be trained (both in Safe Environment and Catechetics) to help lead sessions. To learn more and to sign up for this important ministry, send an email to sbidwell@sfrlou.org.
