Sacrament Prep
St. John’s students participate in Sacramental preparation. These Sacraments include; First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation. The sacrament of Reconciliation is one of forgiveness through which the sinner is reconciled with God and the church.
In preparation to receive First Eucharist our Second grade students prepare their hearts through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is one of the three Sacrament of initiation, it is the Sacrament in which Jesus shares himself, and the bread and wine become his body and blood.
The Sacrament of First Confirmation is another of the three Sacraments of initiation. It seals and completes baptism. Our 8th Grade students prepare to strengthen their bond with the Church and unite more fully with Christ.
