The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself. (CCC 1324)
Divine Mercy Parish provides our students with formal preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist during 1st and 2nd grade. Students receive these Sacraments for the first time during their 2nd grade year.

SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION FOR 3RD-6TH GRADE STUDENTS:
Students in 3rd-6th grade that have not received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and/or First Communion as 2nd graders are encouraged to attend class with their peers. In addition, they are offered a special sacramental preparation course that meets once a month. These students receive those Sacraments with the 2nd grade class in December and April/May.
