Assists parishes in bringing to life the Church's catechetical and liturgical directives of the Sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, Confirmation, and Marriage Preparation (the last in collaboration with the Family Life Office). We also assist parishes in the formation of sacramental preparation teams, and provide opportunities for their ongoing catechesis. A parish contact for each sacramental team would be wonderful!
