Family Faith Formation

We are thrilled to announce that Family Faith Formation will begin in September 2025.  The Restored Order for the Sacraments of Initiation is diocese-wide endeavor lead by our Most Reverend Bishop David Konderla. Everyone in the Diocese will receive the Sacraments of Initiation in the following restored order: Baptism, Confirmation, and then Holy Eucharist. Finally, children will receive the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist at the same time and at the earliest possible age, usually in the third grade. The sacramental graces will be a great help to the children and the formation opportunities will benefit the whole family (for a fuller rationale of these changes see Bishop’s Pastoral Letter, Jesus is Lord).

To facilitate these changes, every parish preparation program will assist parents in preparing for the Sacraments of Initiation. Programs are to make note that Baptism is to occur at the earliest possible age, First Confession is to be received in the second grade, and Confirmation and First Holy Eucharist in the third grade.

Faith Formation meetings are once per month for each sacramental preparation. The whole family is invited to attend. Classes begin in September.
