SACRAMENT PREPARATION
An Interactive and Participatory Faith Sharing Program that brings Children grades 1-5 together that helps them grow in love and knowledge of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We gather weekly in Martin Hall.
Our time together begins at 6:30 pm and ends at 7:40 pm. Children may arrive 5-10 minutes prior to class. Children can arrive at 6:15 PM. Parents are always welcome to stay, or they can go upstairs into the church to rest and pray. Some times there may be a special presentation for parents to attend. Regardless, soft light will be on and it will be quiet for you to reflect.
Departure time is 7:40 PM.
Parents are asked to come into Martin Hall to pick up their children. If you have other people designated to take your child home, please contact Linda to clarify.
Holy Communion for Second graders will take place April 16, 2023, at the 11:00 AM Mass.
Children will be asked to dress up for this occasion.
ATTENDANCE:
Regular attendance is important for students to achieve the optimum level of learning set forth by the catechist. If your child cannot attend, call the Parish Office (563-588-1433) and leave a message with Donna Godert. If you do not inform us that your child will be absent, we will call your home at the beginning of our gathering. Your child’s safety is our concern. We need to know if your child will not be present for class.
