Has Your Child Received the Sacraments?

St. Joseph Parish has switched over to a family-based approach to lifelong faith formation! In addition, the Diocese of New Hampshire is implementing "Restored Order." (Click Here to learn more about Restored Order of the Sacraments of Initiation) What does this mean? In brief, it means our Sacramental Prep is now a 2-year parent-led program. Year 1 culminates with the Sacrament of Reconciliation (normally to be received at the end of your child's second grade year), and Year 2 culminates with the reception of Confirmation and First Holy Communion in the same Mass (normally to be received at the end of your child's third grade year). 

YEAR 1 - 1st Reconciliation - Schedule 
Year 1 Retreats

Fall Retreat:
11/12 (8:45am-12:30pm in the SAB Pastoral Center)

Spring Retreat:
​3/18 (8:45am-12:30pm in the SAB Pastoral Center)


First Reconciliation Date: 3/25
10am at Sacred Heart Church, Laconia

*On March 25, 2021, after the First Reconciliation Service, parents will receive their child's First Eucharist materials and begin the Year 2 prep.
