Preparation for Communion Classes are for children in 2nd grade in the fall of 2025 (rising third graders may also register). This course is designed for children to learn more about the sacrament of Holy Communion. Children are invited whether or not they already receive Holy Communion. Using materials and curriculum from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Level II formation course, this process enables children to gain a deeper understanding of the sacrament and deepen their faith.
The course Sunday morning classes beginning September 7, 9 – 10 am, in room L17, a Saturday morning retreat at St. John the Divine ending in the Renewal of Baptismal Vows service in the Chapel on October 11, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm, and The Celebration of Holy Communion on Sunday, October 12, at the 11:15 am service in the church with a reception to follow in Sumners Hall.
Please register by September 1.
