Sacramental Preparation:
Information for Parishes
The Catechesis Office is pleased to provide a number of supports to parishes for Sacramental Preparation for the Sacraments of Initiation.
We encourage you to look at the resources for Parents/Guardians for video and PDF resources that will be of assistance to you.
Models
We have models of sacramental preparation for each of the Sacraments of Initiation. These outlines assist parishes in designing meetings and retreats by suggesting the timing and content of meetings as a planning guide.
