SacramentsIt is important to note that the granting of Holy Sacraments is a parish community event. At Norwalk Catholic, we prepare the child with daily religion lessons based upon the Diocesan curriculum and weekly Mass, however the taking of the Sacrament itself is planned, prepared, and granted by the parish.
Please contact your local parish to be registered for the necessary Sacramental preparation. To sign up for First Reconciliation, use this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050b44aaac22a1fb6-stpaul1 You may also call the parish office between 9 am–12 or email Jen Sanders at [email protected] Please make sure you have completed Sacramental registration with your parish for First Reconciliation & First Communion. You will need to attend meetings to help prepare your child for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. Jesus Day Retreat ~ Friday, April 25, 2025 our Second Graders will celebrate their Jesus Day Retreat from 9:00-1:15 at the Gathering Space in preparation for First Communion. We will culminate our day by finishing with an activity in our classroom. Many informational sheets will come home with IMPORANT Jesus Day Information and asking for volunteers for helpers for the day. If you can help in anyway please reach out to me. Your help is greatly appreciated in order to make this a wonderful retreat for our Second Graders! May Crowning ~ Thursday, May 8, 2025 Each year, we ask our 2nd-grade students to dress in their First Communion clothes (or dress-up clothes if they did not receive First Communion) to celebrate in our liturgy, as they will have a special part in the procession. Parents are invited to meet their students at 1:00 pm to bring their dress-up clothes and help their child change and attend Mass. Following the Mass, students can change back into the uniform and end the day as usual, or parents can take them following Mass. They will walk up in the procession placing a flower at the statue of Mary. |
