First Reconciliation and Most Holy Eucharist are one of the many wonderful Catholic sacraments that help us grow closer to Christ. The preparation for these sacraments is a shared experience with both children and parents growing closer to God and to one another. 
If you would like your child(ren) to receive these sacraments this year—whether you are a school family or parishioner—you can sign up with the link below. You must attend the mandatory parent/guardian meeting on Wednesday, September 4, at 6:00 pm in the Social Hall. At this meeting, you will learn about the program and the requirements. We cannot wait for your child(ren) to receive these important sacraments, and to journey with them as they learn and grow closer to Christ. Please reach out with questions.

God bless you,
Hallee Olson, Molly Fossen, and Fr. Ben Wittnebel
