Dear Parent/Guardian,
Your son/daughter, who is now in Grade 2 can prepare for the reception of the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation (Confession) this year.

To register your child for sacramental preparation please complete the following steps:

1.  Complete and print out the Registration Form from our parish website.
2. Attach a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate with the registration form. If you cannot find the proof of baptism, please contact the parish where your child was baptized to obtain it. If that parish is St. Therese simply indicate the year and month of baptism on the registration form and we’ll verify the baptism in our records.
3. Pay 60$ registration fee by cheque or cash. The fee of $60 helps to offset the cost of the materials. If paying by cheque, please make it payable to St. Therese Parish, Courtice.
4. Registration will take place after the following Sunday Masses (9am, 11am & 7pm) in the parish hall (Please, bring all required documents for registration): Sunday September 18th , September 25th , October 2nd and October 9th.

For your child to receive the Sacraments, your family must be registered with St. Therese Parish. The registration form is available on our parish website. If you are registered with another parish, we require a letter from that Church giving permission to celebrate the sacrament at St. Therese Parish.
The books provided are an excellent resource and we ask you parents/guardians to help your children cover the material in the textbooks throughout the catechetical year. Please ensure to regularly check the email you provide below, since this will be the main means of communication with you, the parent/guardian, during the year. Mandatory Educational Mass for the parent and child will be held at certain months (see the schedule provided).

The parish community is looking forward to supporting your child in prayer as they prepare to receive the sacraments and celebrate them with your child and your family. We’ll be staying in touch throughout the year and filling you in on more details as the year unfolds.

God Bless,
Rev Wojciech Blach OMI, Pastor
