Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion
|
Sacraments are a beginning! We prepare young Catholics for these transforming sacraments with the understanding that proper formation is necessary to understand and receive these mysteries in the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
This preparation is parish-based, so families that wish to enroll their children in preparation must: 1. be members of St. Philip Neri or St. Clement I parish 2. have baptized the child in the Catholic Church 3. have enrolled the child in parish Faith Formation (or in a Catholic School) 4. attend Mass as a family registered at St. Philip Neri or St. Clement parish. Enrollment starts in August, with sessions beginning on SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 2027, 10:00 in SPN School. Click the Registration Form button. Drop off completed forms and payment at the Parish Office. See the Calendar button below for details. First Holy Communion will take place at parish masses in April 2027. Contact: Laura Graham, [email protected], or call her at 410-859-0571, ext. 16105. |
“Let us attend to what is good, pleasing, and acceptable in the sight of Him who
formed us. Let us look steadfastly to the blood of Christ, and see how precious that blood is to God which, having been shed for our salvation, has set the grace of repentance before the whole world. Let us turn to every age that has passed, and learn that, from generation to generation, the Lord has granted a place of repentance to all such as would be converted unto Him. “
-- St. Clement’s Letter to the Corinthians
