FAITH FORMATION

We have many opportunities for you to share your time and talent. Look over our ministries and groups, the people that they serve and how you can get involved – some of which require occasional participation, and others which entail regular service. Your involvement in one of these ministries and organizations will not only enrich your life, but it will also vitalize the communion of faith we enjoy.

Sacrament Preparation

Our sacrament preparation guidelines are as follows: Students must have at least one year of religious education prior to the year of preparation. The primary educators for the sacrament are the parents. It is our expectation that the children attend Mass each weekend and have good attendance in our Parish School of Religion.

First Reconciliation

In order to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession), students must be enrolled in Faith Formation and have had at least one year of formation prior to the year of preparation or be enrolled in a Catholic School.

First Communion

In order to receive the preparation for the Sacrament of Communion, students must complete the process of preparation for First Reconciliation. The Sacrament will be offered to the children attending the 2nd grade Faith Formation class during this coming year.  If you have an older child that has not received First Holy Communion please contact Father Sanchez in the Parish Office for information or by email ihmpastor@gmail.com

Confirmation

The diocese of Jackson requires a one-year program of preparation for this sacrament.

Do you have a school age child in Grade K-12 who needs religious education?  What would you like to do to enhance our PSR program?  For more information, contact the Parish Office.
