We're very excited for a wonderful year of growing in faith and community together.   Our classes this year will be on Sunday mornings before the 11:15am Mass.  Classes are approximately three times per month, with all holidays and school vacations taken into account. 

Both Yellow and Green weeks on the calendar below are CLASS weeks!

Classes in GREEN: meet from 10am-11am in the church hall.

Classes  in YELLOW: on these weeks, classes will meet at 10:45 in the hall, and all classes will go to Mass together at 11:15.  Mass ends at approx. 12:15, and will be followed by donuts and coffee in the church hall!  Parents are encouraged to stay for Mass, and join in for a few minutes of social time afterwards-- reconnecting with the Mass and the church community is so important for us as Catholics, and so important as we seek to raise our kids in the faith!

Greyed-out Sundays are days off due to holidays and vacations. 

We cannot overemphasize the importance of Mass attendance as a family.
As the primary educators of their children, nothing better helps form young Catholics than the active participation of their parents. 

We're so looking forward to a great year!  Hope to see you there!

First Communion:

• First Communion preparation is a two-year process. To receive First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in 2nd grade, students must be registered and attending class and Mass regularly throughout grades 1 and 2.
• Before receiving the sacrament of First Communion, Our Lady of Hope needs a baptismal certificate from any child who was not baptized at our parish.
• First Holy Communion is held in the Spring.
• If you have questions about First Communion, please reach Elisa St. Clair.
