Sacramental Preparation
Preparation for first sacraments is based on readiness and is non-graded.

First Eucharist
Traditionally, those preparing to celebrate the sacrament of Eucharist for the first time must be at least 7 years of age. Candidates and their families are expected to participate in preparation sessions as well as the liturgical celebrations.

First Penance
Candidates and their families are invited to take part in our Penance preparation process.

Confirmation
Confirmation is based on a student's readiness and desire to celebrate the sacrament. Traditionally, candidates who are in High School are invited to take part in our preparation process. It is understood that those who are seriously seeking to become a full member of the church will attend Mass at Sacred Heart parish on a weekly basis as well as take part in our Confirmation retreat and interview process.

In addition, all requirements of the Confirmation process (which is separate from Religious Education) must be met.

If you have any questions and/or if you would like more information about our sacramental preparation processes here at Sacred Heart Parish, please contact the parish office at 508-473-1900.
