Welcome!We want to welcome you to the 2023-24 Sacramental Prep Program at St. Charles Parish. We are very excited for you and your child/children to be a part of the program as your child/children prepare for their First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
The program will begin October 1. Download and complete the registration form (click below) and you will be informed of all the program details. A copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate is required. Also it is required for both parent and child to attend church services regularly. Church services are vital so not only children but also parents are familiar with mass and all the steps of mass. We will learn what all of the rituals and symbolism mean. This is a time for you to journey with your child/children as they prepare for these sacraments. We look forward to meeting each family. Questions? Contact Linda Kunrath, Sacramental Preparation Coordinator, kunrath.linda@gmail.com or contact Leif Kehrwald, Parish Pastoral Coordinator, lkehrwald@stcharlespdx.org or 503-351-9889. PlaylistsA playlist is a collection of spiritual activities that enhance the weekly lesson and nurture your family’s faith formation. Participating in scripture readings, videos, prayers, and saint stories are wonderful ways to understand the Catholic faith, grow closer to God, connect as a family, and form “habits of faith.”
