Sacramental preparation is a completely separate program from the Religious Education program.  The guidelines for Sacramental Prep are as follows:

1. Children may begin to prepare for the Sacraments in the fall of 2nd grade or older. (registration is usually early August)
2. Children must be active in a Religious Education program.
3. Be registered in the parish.
4. A copy of child’s baptismal record will be needed before First Reconciliation; if your child was baptized somewhere other than St. Francis Xavier or St. Joseph Church.
5. A registration fee of $30.00 helps with the cost of the materials. (Scholarships available)
6. Parent and child are required to attend monthly sessions with their child.
