Join us once a month on Wednesday night during the third full week of the month when Emmaus Evenings does not take place for immediate preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion at St. Philomena Catholic Church in Belmont. Formation is provided to both the child(ren) and their parents in order to help each child be readily prepared to receive the sacraments. From both formation in the home from their parents and instruction in the classroom setting, Signs of Grace offers what each family needs to help their child(ren) be ready for the Sacraments of 1st Reconciliation and 1st Holy Communion.

Sacramental Prep for these sacraments are for those in their second year of faith formation. Registration is completed for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion when you register your family for Faith Formation (Emmaus Evenings). Sacramental prep includes additional expectations, resources, and a retreat (fee = $25)

All youth in sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are also expected to regularly attend faith formation classes, enrolled in either Emmaus Evenings, Catholic School, or Homeschool.
