FIRST SACRAMENTS
"Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what flowed from His side."
-St. Augustine
RECONCILIATION & EUCHARIST
Welcome to this year of First Sacraments! This is a special year - with TWO big occasions: First Reconciliation and First Eucharist!
First Sacraments are usually received in 2nd Grade, but if your older child
missed First Sacraments along the way, contact the parish office. We’d love
to help your child catch up!
PREPARATION FOR FIRST SACRAMENTS
St. Mark’s offers a First Sacraments class on Wednesday nights, 6:30 - 7:45 PM. See below for important dates.
Please Register by September 18, 2019.
PREREQUISITES FOR RECEPTION
In order to participate in the First Sacraments program, we need a copy of your child's baptismal certificate. If your child was baptized at Saint Mark's, we have one. Otherwise, you must get an official copy from the parish where your child was baptized. This is essential.
