Baptismal Preparation Classes
First Communion
In the Diocese of Madison, sacrament preparation is a two-year program. So enrollment in a formation program offered through the church the year before seeking the sacraments is necessary for proper formation. In their second year of formation, these young disciples will then be offered Sacramental Prep classes to prepare them for reception. As long as they are enrolled in formation the year before and the year of receiving, both faith formation and Sacred Heart children will receive their First Communion in the Spring of their 2nd year of formation, or when deemed ready by both the parent and church.
