Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation
Parental Expectations
Parents/guardians of those participating in Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation preparation are asked to do the following:
1. Attend Sunday Mass on a regular basis with their child(ren)
2. Believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
3. Pray as a family.
4. Discuss the liturgy, Church, and catechetical lessons with their child(ren).
5. Attend parent/child sessions, Sacramental sessions, and/or Eucharist retreat.
Sacramental Sessions and Retreats
All parents/guardians of children preparing for baptism, or students in the Eucharist or Confirmation program are expected to attend the parent meetings as scheduled. These sessions are important because they will explain the connections between Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation. Your awareness of these connections will help prepare your child for the Sacraments. Students preparing for First Eucharist are expected to attend the Children’s Eucharist retreat in the early Spring. Candidates for Confirmation are expected to attend the Confirmation Retreat weekend at Bishop Lane Retreat Center when scheduled.
