Sacrament Preparation
We prepare children and teens to joyfully encounter Christ through the Sacraments of Baptism, First Communion and First Reconciliation, and Confirmation. This includes ALL students in the St. John Paul II Parish. We recognize that parents are the primary catechists of their children and we seek to support families on this lifelong spiritual journey.
For Infant Baptism Preparation see our Sacraments Page
For Adults seeking Confirmation see our Becoming Catholic Page
First Sacraments
St. John Paul II Parish welcomes baptized children to celebrate First Holy Communion in the spring of 2nd grade. Children will prepare for both First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion throughout the 2nd grade year.

Confirmation
We welcome baptized teens in grades 7-12 interested in receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Through this preparation, we accompany young people who desire to deepen their relationship with Jesus, and live the life of a disciple on mission.
