Sacraments for Older Children

Baptism of Older Children

(all children who have not been baptized as infants.)

Children who have not been baptized may be enrolled in the Christian Formation Program. Parents or guardians must attend one of the monthly baptism classes (call the office to schedule a class time.) Child Care is provided for this class. When you have attended the class call the office and set up a time for your child to be baptized. Godparents must attend the classes along with the parents. If the Godparents are not in this parish, they must have a letter from their priest stating that they are practicing Catholics.

Reconciliation and Eucharist

Children need to be registered in the regular Religious Education classes one year prior to receiving the sacraments. Special classes in addition to the regular Christian Formation classes must be attended. Classes for Reconciliation and Eucharist for Grades 3 through 12 will be held on Monday evening and require registration..

For information on sacraments for your children grades 3 - 12, contact Margie Curtis, Director of Christian Formation, 757-877-3771. Email: margie@stjeromennva.org
