HOW TO SIGN UP! Information will be published in August church bulletins and on this site. You may also call Harold Wessell, Pastoral Associate, at the parish office, 792-1574, or email to hwstalphons@nycap.rr.com.


PREPARATIONS FOR FIRST COMMUNION AS WELL AS RECONCILIATION
are currently integrated into the Second Grade program. Preparation is also tailored for older youngsters.


CONFIRMATION PREPARATION:
The immediate preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is provided for 11th graders (as well as older teens), in a combination of formational sessions and liturgical-spiritual experiences focused on what it means to be a confirmed Catholic Christian. This preparation runs from about October to February. Traditionally we share in a joint celebration of the Sacrament with neighboring parishes
about March of every year. For further information, call the Faith Formation Office.


CATECHISTS AND YOUTH MINISTERS NEEDED!
Currently we expect to need a Catechist for the Second Graders and a Youth Minister for the Senior Highs. If you’ve ever thought that you’d like to share your faith, your community’s faith, with another generation, this call could be for you! Couples, or friends who think they’d like to collaborate, are most welcome. Contact Harold Wessell at the church office.
