The Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life. The faith formation catechists support parents in preparing the children to receive the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ for the first time.
Curriculum: Blessed by Dynamic Catholic
Children in grades 2 through 5 preparing for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion must be baptized in the Catholic Church. A baptism certificate is required to register for FHC sessions unless the child was baptized at St. Timothy.

My God,
I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.
Amen.
