First-year Sacramental Parents are required to attend our “Catholic Refresher” classes being offered throughout the year. Only one parent is required, but both are encouraged to attend. These classes are there to help adults better understand their faith and the role of the Domestic Church. We want to empower parents to feel comfortable having faith-based conversations with their children and implementing Catholic Living in their homes.
