Adult Preparations for Baptism, First Communion, First Reconciliation, or Confirmation

Each year, St. Charles Parish prepares adults who wish to participate (complete) the Sacraments of Baptism, First Communion, Reconciliation, or Confirmation. The preparation begins approximately nine weeks ahead of Holy Week. Classes for the 9 week seminar meet each Sunday morning at 9-10:15am - then followed by the entire group attending the 10:30am Mass in the Church.

This sacramental preparation program is open to parishioners that are eighteen years of age or older. To view the program click on the text "Adult Confirmation/ RCIA" to the right of this page

Bulletin notices to register with the Church office generally begin appearing soon after Jan 1.




Ignatian Spirituality

St. Ignatius of Loyola established the Spiritual Exercises to grow in union with God and to discern God’s will. Through a daily practice of meditation, prayer, and contemplation, practitioners report having found peace and meaning in their lives and relationships with God and others. They have greater confidence in their life decisions. The Spiritual Exercises are the key spiritual ingredient that helps them center themselves more fully toward Jesus.
