Confirmation & First Communion | Registration 2026-2027

Sundays, 12-4pm | Confirmation & First Communion preparation is the second part of our two-year sacramental preparation program, consisting of catechesis for both parents and children. Both attend all preparation sessions, although instruction will take place separately. The preparation process is outlined below...

#1. Mass Attendance: The most important aspect of this preparation is weekly Mass attendance and is expected of all families.

#2. Emmaus Participation: Families engage in the life of the parish through attendance at our monthly, whole community faith formation program, Emmaus. For the dates, more information, and to register, visit christthekingnh.org/emmaus.

#3. Sacramental Preparation: Sacramental preparation will take place during four Sunday afternoon retreats in the Parish Activity Center. This year's schedule can be found on our website.
Welcome to Sacramental Preparation at Christ the King Parish!


"The faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By these sacraments of Christian initiation, they receive in increasing measure the treasures of divine life." - Catechism of the Catholic Church 1212

Congratulations! This is an incredibly important and special time in your child’s life. Your child will learn to know Jesus as their Savior, truly and bodily present in the Eucharist, as well as receive the Grace of the Holy Spirit, giving them a greater courage and guidance in facing the challenges of living a Christian life. 


Please read the "Description" section carefully and complete the form below for each child who will be receiving this sacrament. We look forward to sharing this journey with your family!
