Family catechesis therefore precedes, accompanies and enriches all other forms of catechesis...Thus there cannot be too great an effort on the part of Christian parents to prepare for this ministry of being their own children's catechists and to carry it out with tireless zeal." (Pope Saint John Paul II, On Catechesis In Our Time, paragraph 68)
Sacrament Preparation for 1st Reconciliation, 1st Communion, or Confirmation are readiness-based and take place in addition to active involvement in Faith Formation. Any students wishing to prepare for Sacraments must already be actively partcipating in general Faith Formaiton through the Family Faith Formation process. Please visit the Sacrament Preparation page for basic expectations,
If your child is above the age of 7 and is not baptized, or is baptized Catholic but is 8 years old or older and has not previously participated in Faith Formation, or is baptized outside of the Roman Catholic Church, please contact the parish office for more information on the RCIA adapted for children process.
Anyone is welcome to register as a parishioner and attend Mass at SMdP. When it comes to Faith Formation and Sacrament Preparation, Canon Law expects these to be done at the parish in whose boundaries you reside(cf. CIC 102, 518-519). Registration for the parish, although helpful for information purposes, does not determine who can attend Faith Formation and Sacrament Preparation, as eligibility to register for FF/Sacrament Preparation is determined by where you live. Out of respect for each parish’s boundaries, and in accord with Canon Law and Fort Worth Diocesan policies, we may ask that you contact the parish where you live to begin the Faith Formation or Sacramental Preparation process. Should you have any further questions, please contact the parish office.
