Sacramental Prep.

Dear parents, Welcome to our child First Holy Communion and child Catholic formation program. Because of the Covid-19 precautions we will be conducting instruction in our church where all of the guidlines have already been worked out with the Archdiocese and State of New Mexico. Children will be adequately distanced. We promise an engaging class! The goal of our program remains both the reception of one or more of the Sacraments of Initiation as well as full integration into the life of a local parish family. As a result our program is threefold: 1) Sunday Mass which forms the core of all we do even when class is not in session. It is the first and most important part of our program. 2) Weekly Class under the dedicated direction of our catechists. 3) Participation by the parents in our spring and fall festivals, and the December New Mexico Posada. It is a great way to get to know the other parishioners. Children age seven (second grade) through middle school attend our Wednesday afternoon instruction from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Two years is the time of preparation for First Holy Communion. The children will make their First Reconciliation towards the end of the second year. Our program starts September 9th this year. You can see the date as well as vacations on the “Master Calendar” of this site. Refer to it often! This year we will not be offering class from pre-k through first due to Covid-19 concerns. Hopefully next year we can resume! For more information call or visit our office.
