First Reconciliation – 2nd Grade
First Eucharist – 3rd Grade
Confirmation – 3rd Grade
For your child to receive the Sacraments, you must be a registered, active member of St. Joseph the Worker Parish, and your child must attend Faith Formation sessions.
For First Eucharist, parents are asked, along with their child, to attend a small number of mandatory enrichment meetings outside of their Faith Formation classes. These enrichment activities complete the understanding and knowledge of the sacrament. Confirmation classes are offered outside of regular Faith Formation sessions and are mandatory for those wishing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Baptism
We ask that all parents seeking Baptism for a child first complete a Baptism Class offered every other month at St. Joseph the Worker Church. Please check our event calendar to see when the next class is scheduled, or call the parish office for dates and to register. Once the Baptism Class is completed, call the the parish office 217-483-3772 to start the process of setting up a date for your child's baptism.
