Saturday March 9th
Prep Day: Saturday February 24th 1-3pm
Rehearsal: Friday March 8, 6pm
Students preparing for either sacrament this year will be given a workbook to take home. Work in these books will be assigned during the Bonus Week each month and should be completed by children with the guidance of parents. The activities are hands-on and will help them prepare for their big day!
In addition to these assignments, each sacrament will have a “Prep Day” that will be a longer, more immersive experience to get the children ready for their sacrament. The Prep Day will include some instruction, reflection, and hands-on activities as well.
