Confirmation & First Eucharist
SAB Parish has switched over to a family-based approach to lifelong faith formation! In addition, the Diocese of New Hampshire is implementing "Restored Order." (Click Here to learn more about Restored Order of the Sacraments of Initiation) What does this mean? In brief, it means our Sacramental Prep is now a 2-year parent-led program. Year 1 culminates with the Sacrament of Reconciliation (normally to be received at the end of your child's second grade year), and Year 2 culminates with the reception of Confirmation and First Holy Communion in the same Mass (normally to be received at the end of your child's third grade year).
Family-based Prep Schedule
Sacramental Prep is a part of our G.I.F.T. Family Faith Formation program. Children preparing to receive Confirmation and First Eucharist this year are expected to attend the monthly G.I.F.T. sessions (September-April) with at least one parent/guardian, as well as the extra Sacramental Prep Retreats.
**NOTE: This year, the on-campus G.I.F.T. program is temporarily suspended due to COVID-19. We will still have the in-person retreats for Year 1 and Year 2 Sacramental Prep, however, the other communal requirements do not apply. Parents are simply expected to spend extra time this year focusing on the Sacramental Prep materials and living a liturgical life as a family.
