Sacramental Preparation

Sacramental Preparation for Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist

Your child’s First Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist are a unique, intimate encounter with Jesus.

 What is vital to your child’s interior growth is the formation by word and example they receive from you, their parents! In this way, we strive to affirm and accompany you, as you live out your vocation and form your children's faith.

 In the Archdiocese of New Orleans, preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist takes place within the parish setting, ordinarily when the child is in the second grade, age 7 or 8. Sacramental Preparation is a two-year program. One year of preparation in the Parish School of Religion or Catholic school should begin at least one year prior, in first grade. 
 

Sacramental Preparation registration is separate and in addition to enrollment at either 
St. Peter School or in our Parish School of Religion (PSR). Sacramental candidates must be enrolled in one of the programs listed before completing the form below.
