6th-8th Grade Faith Formation:

While families are welcome to use Project Nazareth (see above) with their 6th-8th Grader if they prefer, we have also created a separate program. If you are not comfortable with Zoom or in-person sessions, consider adapting Project Nazareth for your children in this age group. Please contact me if you want to inquire more about this option.

First Communion 2020

We have been able to hold limited First Communion services for children who would have received in May. We have already held our First Communion group Masses, but for the time being any children who have not yet received can do so at a regular Saturday or Sunday Mass, after signing up. Right now, Mass is being celebrated at Immaculate Conception at 4:00 PM Saturday, 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM Sunday, Church of the Nativity at 8:00 AM and St. Ann's Church at 9:30 AM Sunday.

Please contact Aaron Giard ([email protected]) if you would like your child to receive First Holy Communion at any point this year.
