Please note that as per Diocesan directive, our Religious Education Program and School will be closed from March 13th through March 27th due to concerns regarding the coronavirus; home instruction will be provided for all school and Religious Education students during this time.

Also our Confirmation scheduled for Thursday, March 19th, has been postponed due to concerns related to the coronavirus. We will inform the parents of our Confirmandi when the new date has been scheduled, and publish the date in the bulletin as well.

Hello Families!

Sacramental years are always a wonderful time for our children and families. Fewer things are more beautiful to witness than seeing our children brought further into the life of the Church as they continue to understand God's great love for them when they receive the special graces that are given to them in the sacraments.

Sacramental preparation is such an important aspect of a child's readiness to receive First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation. Our hope at Sacred Heart is to provide meaningful sacramental preparation through the classroom, special retreat days, and meetings for parents. Preparing for the sacraments is actually a two year process, i.e., children receiving First Reconciliation and First Communion begin preparation in 1st grade, which our Confirmandi actually begin preparing for Confirmation in 7th grade. The most important thing parents can do to help prepare their children for the sacraments is to attend Mass with them regularly, and make sure they are attending Religious Education classes regularly as well. This helps to ensure that children have a meaningful understanding of the sacraments they are receiving.

On the left side of the screen, you will see separate links to sacrament pages. This is where you can expect to find updates and any documents related to your child's sacramental preparation. You can find dates and times for sacrament-related services and other events in your general calendar for the year, and we have included a general sacrament calendar on the left side of the screen for your convenience as well.

As always, if you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you and God bless you!
