Our Sacramental Preparation Program for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion takes a family- focused approach. Preparation through the Blessed program by Dynamic Catholic takes place in the home with 6 opportunities to come together as a group throughout the journey. 

Parents are given a book for each Sacrament with a schedule for completion at home. The schedule will have a series of due dates where work will be due to catechists. Books will be brought to in-person meetings and dropped off in the back of church to be checked. 

We gather together at Holy Spirit three times for each Sacrament where we have the opportunity for Mass, faith sharing, a family activity and discussion of important doctrine surrounding the Sacrament. 
The third First Holy Communion session is the First Communion Retreat. This retreat is for communicants only.

These 3 in-person sessions are mandatory for communicants and parent(s) or another adult family member intricately involved in the child's life/faith up brining.

The purpose of this organization of the program is to place the focus on the fostering of the faith at home. Parents are the first teachers of the faith and preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion involves the formation of the family. 

Our prayer is that through this process, the faith of the entire family is strengthened as you experience and reflect on the joy of the Real Presence of the Eucharist together.
