St. Joseph Catholic Community invites families with children in second grade and older to prepare for the reception of First Eucharist by attending weekly Mass and participating in Faith Formation classes. Preparation includes a parent meeting, workshops, and classroom sessions. Families are asked to attend a spring workshop and participate in activities before the reception of First Eucharist.
The St. Joseph Grief Group provides an opportunity for those who have lost a loved one to come together in faith and support. We are stronger together and as a community, we can help support others through grief which helps us process our own grief.

First Reconciliation, the sacrament of forgiveness/healing, is typically celebrated in the second grade prior to the reception of First Eucharist. Students must be baptized in the Catholic Church. Preparation for the sacrament includes classroom sessions, two parent and student sessions, a parent-only meeting, and a retreat. Second graders are asked to attend classes, weekly Mass, and complete their reconciliation workbook before reception of the sacrament.
