If your child was not baptized at St. John the Evangelist and is preparing to receive Reconciliation, Holy Communion, or Confirmation here, include a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate. You may call the Parish Office where the baptism took place and request that they mail a copy here.

First Reconciliation and Communion Preparation: My child is in 2nd grade or at least 7 years old or older and wishes to receive First Reconciliation and Communion at St. John this school year. I realize that my child must attend a minimum of 75% of Religious Education classes and regularly attend Sunday Mass in order to be considered to receive these sacraments here. I realize that we must be registered parishioners, as well as having been enrolled in Religious Education during the previous school year. 

Confirmation Preparation: My child is a sophomore or older and wishes to be prepared to receive the sacrament of Confirmation through St. John. I realize that my child must attend a minimum of 75% of Youth Ministry formations, participate in at least one retreat (Source + Summit) and one service activity, and regularly attend Sunday Mass in order to be considered to receive this sacrament here. I realize that we must be registered parishioners, as well as having been enrolled in a faith formation program during the previous school year. If you are not a parishioner please get pastoral permission to receive the sacrament here.
