We recognize the baptisms of other Christian faiths when baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and with water. Before receiving the Rite of Reconciliation and Eucharist, our pastor would invite the child to make a profession of faith. This is similar to the questions asked of the community during a baptism and the renewal of our baptismal promises we sometimes say at Mass. The Profession of Faith is recorded in our Record of Sacrament book for Eucharist.

Our formation year follows a traditional school year calendar (Fall to Spring).
Year 1 is first available to first graders (typical), but this preparation process is open to all children in grades 1-5.
Year 2 consecutively follows Year 1.
