On Wednesday, September 28, 2016 at 6:00 pm in the Family Center, all families of children preparing to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist for the first time during this school year will gather for an informational meeting.

Information about the process will be shared as well as an opportunity for questions. At least one parent/guardian from each family should attend. If you have any questions, please contact Maria Bilodeau via email at MBilodeau@sacredheartcatholic.com or the Parish Office at 386-428-6426. Thank you. See you there!

Sacrament of Confirmation

We welcome our young people in Grades 8 and 9 preparing for Confirmation and their parents to a meeting on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 6:00 pm in the Social Hall . This meeting will introduce you to the formation process for Confirmation here at Sacred Heart.

The sacramental preparation for Confirmation provides opportunities for fun, service, and new prayer experiences. This year, we will have youth who had already been Confirmed to share their faith and discipleship with those who are preparing for Confirmation. We hope that together, our young people will grow in knowledge of our faith, and just like the apostles and disciples, to embrace a deeper faith life and contribute to the mission of spreading the Gospel in the world.

This week, let us pray for all of the families preparing for Confirmation, the adult ministries supporting them such as the Knight of Columbus, CCW, the Breakfast Crew, and the catechists and teachers who are helping them walk in this journey of faith. May the Holy Spirit guide them and empower them to witness to the Gospel.

For questions and/or registration, please contact Maria Bilodeau at MBilodeau@sacredheartcatholic.com or call 386-410-5947 ext. 1009. You may also contact the Parish Office at 386-428-6426.
