Sacramental Preparation
"...do this in memory of me." Luke 22:19
The sacraments are a great gift given to the Church by Christ as a beautiful way for each one of us to draw close to Him. St. Augustine said the sacraments are "visible signs of invisible grace." The goal of Saint Rose's sacramental preparation is to help our young people understand the visible signs and ready their hearts for God's grace.
We not only want each child to feel well prepared for the first time they receive each sacrament, but we also want them to be excited to receive the eucharist and participate in confession regularly. Through engaging classroom activities, prayer, family workshops, and opportunities to see God moving in their life, we achieve those goals!
Sacramental preparation typically begins in 2nd grade, and meets Wednesdays, late September through early May, from 6:00PM-7:00PM.
What if my child is older than 2nd grade and needs to get caught up on sacraments?
Not to worry! We want all people to be able to fully participate in the life of the Church (especially the sacraments) and we are happy to work with each family to determine the best way to get your child caught up while ensuring they are still able to actively participate in Faith Formation with students their own age.
Contact Rob Masloski, Director of Evangelization and Catechesis, to discuss possible options before registering. 651-357-1212 or rmasloski@saintroseoflima.net
