SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION

Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion (grade two or older) and Confirmation (grade six and older) is a partnership of home, parish and school. The school provides the remote preparation, and the family the proximate preparation. The local parish supports the parents in accompanying their children and offers children a peer community.  We offer families two parent/child sessions, a special rite of enrollment at Mass, and a retreat for each sacrament. In addition, confirmation candidates undertake ten hours of community service and sponsors share the journey from day one. Registration is by individual appointment.

For more information, or to register, please contact the parish office at 780.488.7295 or email basilica.info@caedm.ca
