Sacramental Preparation
Our Sacramental Preparation prepares children, families and individuals for participating in the Sacraments through these components...
BAPTISM OF CHILDREN
A Baptism Preparation Class for Parents (English) is required for first-time parents and is scheduled by request.
FIRST RECONCILIATION/FIRST COMMUNION
Typically, children are prepared during their 2nd Grade year. Accommodations will be provided for any child older than 2nd Grade.
CONFIRMATION
Grades 10+ - We serves sophomores in high school and older youth who speak English or Spanish. Sessions meet on Sunday mornings.
Vacation Bible School
Our VBS is for children age 4 through completed Grade 4.
The program takes place for 4-5 days during a week in June each year with exciting learning activities, games, worship and more to help your children experience the ever-flowing, never-ending love of God.
CONSIDER SERVING WITH VBS
LOTS of people are needed for our children to experience a successful & meaningful VBS.
Middle school & high school youth and adults are encouraged to invest their time and talents to serve others.
Liturgy of the Word
We enjoy when we can offer a gathering of children assembled to listen to God's Word and ponder its meaning, but in a way suited to their abilities and their interests.
Hearing God's Word proclaimed and explained in ways that are designed especially for them fosters opportunities for children to hear His Word with greater meaning and application for their lives.
Beginning in January, 2025, Children, ages 3 - 6 years, will be invited to join in a procession to the Nativity Chapel before the first reading and will return to their parents after the General Intercessions (petitions). While together, they’ll read Bible stories and talk about the Scriptures in an age appropriate manner.
We're grateful for funding of this programs through the
Children's Revival of Participation at Sunday Mass Grant from Saint Meinrad.
