Sacraments

It 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.

You may also call the parish office between 9 am–12 or email Jen Sanders at jens@stpaulchurch.org 

​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.
