FAITH FORMATION - sacraments
First Eucharist, Reconciliation & Confirmation Guidelines
Sacraments are an expression of our Catholic beliefs and a gift from our heavenly Father. We are excited to work with families in helping them prepare their child to receive the Sacraments. Parents should not only determine if their child is spiritually ready, but also that the family can devote the time needed to prepare the child at home. Contact the Faith Formation Director (716) 828-7494 if you have questions or concerns. Sacrament Preparation Guidelines.
