Grade: Christian Initiation for Children adopts the O.C.I. model
to prepare families with children of catechetical age to be initiated into
the Catholic Community. This process involves the entire family and
culminates with the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation at the
Easter Vigil. Each family is handled on an individual basis.

Confirmation:
Confirmation is the sacrament that completes the initiation process
that began at Baptism. This sacrament gives the opportunity to candidates
8 years old (3rd grade) and up to make their personal commitment to Christ and the
community of believers, the church. It is the sacrament that celebrates
the presence of God's special strength and gifts in a baptized person. The
person being Confirmed is committed to Christ and ready to be responsible
in the Christian Community. Confirmation will be celebrated in the Spring of
each year. For more information, please contact the parish at
(602) 996-5120.
Couples desiring a Catholic wedding must contact the parish office
at least six months prior to the wedding date. Preparation includes
catechesis, Evenings for Engaged, or Engaged Encounter Weekend. Sessions
with the priest, deacon or minister include the Focus, which is an
inventory for engaged couples, and follow-up sessions for Liturgy
planning. Couples are reminded that this time period is designated to
prepare them to celebrate a sacrament, and seeks to integrate them into
the life of the Catholic Church and of the parish community. For an
appointment, please call the parish office.
