Our Sacramental Preparation sessions at St. Peter's aim to deepen the relationship of love between families and Jesus Christ, who desires to share His life with us through the Church and channels of grace by which He comes to us, the Sacraments. In the Diocese of Spokane, children who have reached the age of reason (typically 2nd grade) children prepare to receive the Sacraments of Penance (Reconciliation), Confirmation, and First Holy Communion during Sacramental Prep. This process, with confirmation preceding First Holy Communion is known as the "restored order".
Our Sacramental Preparation program meets every other Monday night during the school year, from 6:15 to 7:15 PM. The preparation classes will involve parents or sponsors at each class meeting. Because of the intense nature of the Sacramental Prep program, children need to complete at least one year of previous religious education, either through a Catholic school or parish religious education program, prior to registration.
For those older children and teens who only need to prepare for Confirmation, a separate program is offered at a similar time.
This year, the Mass of Confirmation and First Communion is scheduled for Saturday, May 19 2018, at 10:00 AM.
Registration for this year's Sacramental Prep program is open until October 10th, 2017. Please contact the Parish Office to register. Registration forms are also available after weekend Masses.
