Welcome to your second year of Faith Formation!

Our program begins in October, 2026 and ends in April, 2027.

Level 2 is the second of a two-year preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. Children must complete Level 1 before entering Level 2.

During this year, children will focus on the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. We call God Emmanuel, which means "God is with Us!"  God wants nothing more than to dwell in our hearts and by receiving the Eucharist, we are initiated into true communion and relationship with Him.

A few options on class dates and times will be offered and all classes will be conducted by a trained and Virtus certified catechist.  All classes will take place in our Parish Hall, times and dates TBD.  Classes will be meeting every other week for one hour.

Textbooks and materials will be provided to all registered children and will be given out at our Parent/student meetings in the fall.  All schedules will be emailed to you after registration ends on August 31st, 2026.

Our Level 2 Program includes the following:

Mass

The Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. It is the very center and essence of our relationship with God. Jesus said that “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." (John 6:53) When we miss Mass, we spiritually starve ourselves. Therefore, Mass attendance each Sunday is required.

Each student will be given a "God Pass" ticket which needs to be placed in the collection basket at mass time.

Sacraments

Children at Level 2 will be receiving both Reconciliation (Confession) and First Holy Communion

Reconciliation will take place at the end of January, 2027.  First Holy Communion will take place on a Saturday in May, 2027. Dates TBD

Alive in Christ: Our Sunday Visitor

Children at this age are excited to be able to encounter Christ in the Eucharist.  They finally get to partake in the ceremony that they have only been able to watch up until this point.  This is a beautiful and powerful moment in the life of every Catholic. Children preparing to receive their first Holy Communion can sometimes miss just how special this moment is amid all the hustle and bustle of that “First Communion Day.” Our goal is to prepare your child for the precious gift of the Eucharist.  

A sacramental fee of $75.00 is required for all Communion children.
