Sacramental Preparation Orientation Meetings
First Penance/Communion & Confirmation @ St. Max
Friday, May 10, 9:30 - 11:00 AM
Thursday, May 16, 7:00 - 8:30 PM
Saturday, May 18, 9:30 - 11:00 AM
- Current 1st & 7th grade families
- Families with older children who never celebrated these sacraments
- Others with questions and concerns about preparing for sacraments
Join our Sacramental Preparation staff for one of these required* meetings to find out how your family can begin preparing with your child for the Sacraments of First Penance/First Communion and Confirmation.
You’ll get an overview of the sacramental preparation process here at St. Max, learn how to get signed up for formation programs, and have an opportunity to ask questions of our ministry staff.
While normal ages for children in our parish to celebrate these sacraments are 2nd and 8th grade respectively, younger children may be ready and older children may need to “catch up”. Take this opportunity to find out more and talk with our pastoral ministers.
These meetings will be held again in the fall of 2019 for families wishing to prepare winter/spring of 2020, but it’s not too early to participate now.
For more information, contact Robin Burbrink, Children’s Initiation Minister at rburbrink@saint-max.org or 513-777-4322 ext. 124.
