First Communion Preparation
Per Diocese of Memphis norms, preparation for First Communion is a two-year process, done usually when a child is in grades 1 and 2. This spring and summer, we are offering monthly gatherings for our children who are preparing for First Communion next year (2022). We are using the book I Am the Good Shepherd, and children can meet in person or via Zoom. If your child is in first grade and would like to receive First Communion next year, please contact Christina at [email protected].
Confirmation Preparation
Per Diocese of Memphis norms, preparation for Confirmation is a two-year process, usually done when a student is in grades 7 and 8. Information about preparing for Confirmation may be accessed here: https://www.stpeterchurch.org/sacraments/confirmation/
