Sacraments

Pope Benedict XVI

"The Sacraments...celebrate the coming of the Spirit as special moments in the life of the community of faith and its members, and express the Church’s faith and interaction with Christ" (Sharing the Light of Faith).

Here at St. Charles we joyfully celebrate the sacraments that bind us together as a people of faith--people who look to encounter God in those moments of liturgy when we know God and one another in the most life-giving ways.

The sacramental preparation of children and youth for Communion, Reconciliation, and Confirmation is a two-year process. Children at St. Charles School and in the religious education program must have two years of religion classes or religious education before receiving the sacraments of First Communion and First Reconciliation.
