Sacrament Preparation

Just as Jesus did to His disciples, we have to be prepared not just physically but spiritually to receive the grace of God through the Holy Sacraments. “Ask and it will be given to you.“ (Matthew 7:7) The initiation starts with YOU.

Following the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) and the regulations of the Diocese of Calgary, we have requirements and steps needed to be completed in order to receive any of the Holy Sacraments. This ensures that the candidates and their families are fully ready to take on the mission and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

People who wish to receive any of the Holy Sacraments must be a REGISTERED PARISHIONER of St. Mary’s Parish: Brooks + Tide Lake Mission.

Are you an adult or a child who wanted to be part of the Catholic faith?
RCIA + C is for you.
