Sacramental Preparation

“The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us.”  (Catechism of the Catholic Church, Art. 1131)

 

For those seeking full initiation into the Catholic Church for themselves (or their children) or Marriage, St. Benedict Parish provides various types of religious instruction appropriate to the sacrament and the age or status of the recipient.  The links listed below explain the preparation offered and the requirements for each.
