Welcome

We will soon begin our new class for adults who are seeking to enter the Catholic

Church or those who are Catholic and wish to complete their initiation by receiving their First Communion and Confirmation. 

It is not too late to join the new group, but you cannot wait any longer to enroll. We must begin in the 2026 Easter season and usually end next Easter 2027. 

Please call or email Marisa Starceski to begin for next year’s celebrations of the sacraments.
