How our program works
Our program is organized through monthly workshops in which both the child and at least one parent participates. The workshops are 90 minutes in length. Please choose the day (Saturday or Sunday) and time on the registration form linked below that works best for your family. In addition to the workshops, it is our sincere hope and expectation that families who are preparing their children for Reconciliation and Eucharist will join us regularly for worship on Sundays.
The Reconciliation Celebration will be on Saturday, December 4, 2023 at 9:00am at St. Joseph South Worship Space. The First Eucharist Masses will be at St. Joseph South Worship Space on Saturday, May 4, 2024 (sign ups for the Mass time will take place later in the year).
All of our sacramental preparation workshops and celebrations are based at St. Joseph, where we have invested in creating a modern environment in which we celebrate our ancient tradition. We care deeply about being a growing and engaging community, and our worship experience reflects this mission. Through the workshops, you’ll learn more about our approach and vision. If you haven’t experienced a Mass at St. Joseph in the South Worship Space, we would love for you and your family to join us for worship on a Sunday. We also offer Kids’ Church (grades K-5) at St. Joseph (from September through June) where your child can meet others preparing to receive the sacraments and learn all about forming a deeper connection with Jesus. (For younger siblings, check out Tiny Disciples for kids ages 2-5.)
If you have multiple children preparing for the sacraments, please complete and submit a separate form for each child. The sacramental preparation fee is $100 for each child. Financial assistance is available if needed. If you have any questions about our program or problems filling out the registration form, please email Maria LeBlanc or call 617-484-0279 ext. 22.
