Sacramental Preparation is an exciting time for your family! There is also a lot of paperwork that we need to collect before your child is able to celebrate the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, Confirmation, and First Eucharist. Your family will be provided with a hard copy of each of the forms that need to be filled out and returned to us, but your or your Sponsor may also download needed forms here.
Completed paperwork may be returned to Shannon Chisholm via email, mailed to the PO box at the top of each form, dropped off at the parish office, or returned with your child during their Sacramental Preparation classes.
First Reconciliation Paperwork
The folllowing items are due by October 1, 2026:
- Baptismal Certificate; If your child was baptized at St. Theresa, we already have record of their baptism. If your child was baptized in another parish, it is required to submit a baptismal certificate prior to celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
- Registration Fee ($50)
Confirmation and First Eucharist Paperwork
The following items are due by March 21, 2027:
Baptismal Certificate; If your child was baptized at St. Theresa, we already have record of their baptism. If your child was baptized in another parish, it is required to submit a baptismal certificate prior to celebrating the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist.
The All About My Saint or All About My Confirmation Name invites your child to share more about the name that they have chosen to take at Confirmation. "All About My Saint" is for students who have chosen a new Saint name for Confirmation, and "All About My Confirmation Name" is for students who have chosen their Baptismal name as their Confirmation name. When asked to share a picture, students may draw a picture, print a picture, or ask Ms. Shannon to help them make copies of images in any of the books about the Saints that we have at the parish. This two-sided document is due March 14, 2027.
Confirmation Sponsor Information Form gives us all of the information that is needed to ensure that your child's chosen Sponsor is equipped for the role they have been asked to take on. This form is due on March 21, 2027.
Confirmation Sponsor Proxy Form is only applicable if your chosen Sponsor is unable to be present at the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation
Registration Fee ($100)
Confirmation Information Sheets
The following documents provide your family with additional information which may be helpful to complete Confirmation paperwork.
- Choosing Your Confirmation Name offers guidance and suggestions for students choosing a Saint or their Baptismal Name for their Confirmation Name.
- Sponsor Requirements helps families understand whether the individual their child is considering to be their Confirmation Sponsor is able to fulfill the expectations of the role.
- Letter to Sponsor explains the requirements and role of a Confirmation Sponsor, and also shares details with the Sponsor of the dates when their presence is needed at St. Theresa (this will be updated when the Bishop's office schedules our Confirmation Mass).
