First Eucharist - Enrollment and Blessing this weekend

FIRST EUCHARIST PREPARATION

We suggest that you read through and follow the Suggested To do List in this email. It is very helpful to learning and following the order of the process.

This weekend

ENROLLMENT AND BLESSING at all Masses

At a point during the Mass, we will call your whole family forward and ask you to stand in the front on or near the stairs facing the assembly with your child in front of you. See the ritual link to practice your responses! See you in church!

NOTE: If you forgot to sign up for a Mass, sign up below or please attend any of the Masses

on the weekend and let one of the staff know that you are there.
