Sacraments


At St. Bridget of Sweden, we use a Diocesan approved First Reconciliation and First Eucharist Sacramental Program. 

 

    The First Reconciliation sessions provide children with a positive experience of understanding right from wrong, conscience formation and encountering the healing mercy and forgiveness of God.  photos

 

    The First Eucharist sessions draw children and their families into a deep experience of the Eucharist which helps them to love more fully their Catholic faith. Parents take part in preparing their child for the reception of both of these Sacraments.  

   

    Confirmation is a sacrament of initiation received around the age of 16.  Baptized Catholics who have not completed their initiation can begin discernment about their readiness to enter a process of preparation leading to the celebration of        Confirmation.  The preparation includes at least 2 years in a formal catechetical process in the parish or Catholic school prior to immediate preparation for the liturgical celebration.  Immediate preparation takes place prior to Confirmation.  Those entering the process take part in a spiritual and liturgical preparation with an appropriate level of Catechesis and faith development. Confirmation is celebrated at the Cathedral.
