Christian initiation is celebrated in Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.  Through these visible actions, a young person is incorporated into the Church and shares its mission in the world.  Full initiation into the Church begins by stages. Sacramental Catechesis has traditionally been of two kinds:  preparation for the initial celebration of the sacraments and continued enrichment following their first reception. 

Requirements for the reception of First Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation are determined by Canon Law:

• Age of reason
• Proper knowledge of sacraments
• Emotional and spiritual preparation
• Approval by parent, pastor, catechist, Coordinator or Religious Education
