Intergenerational Sacramental Preparation
Coordinator: Marilynne McBride 815-463-4223
Sacramental preparation happens within our faith community. We welcome and support those who are preparing to receive sacraments in our Catholic Church. First Reconciliation and First Eucharist preparation is done at home and in an intergenerational setting. There are four preparation programs offered for each of these Sacraments. Any parent who has a child who is seven years old and/or in the second grade or older and has not yet received First Reconciliation or First Eucharist is welcome to be part of this program.
