Sacramental Preparation

The first step to having your child receive the Sacrament of Baptism at Transfiguration is to call the Parish Office at 651-738-2646 for more information and to schedule your child’s Baptism. Our Baptism preparation sessions for the parents are held regularly, and you will be invited to join us at an upcoming session.

Baptisms at Transfiguration are held the second through last Sundays of every month, with the exception of Holy Days. The Sacrament of Baptism takes place at 11:45 a.m. in the Church.

Adults wishing to receive the Sacrament of Baptism participate in the RCIA program.

A preparation program for First Reconciliation is offered to help parents and children (usually second graders) before celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Transfiguration School Children in Grade 2 are automatically registered. Parents attend two mandatory meetings to hear an explanation of the program, prayer, and what to expect during First Reconciliation. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated in late January.

Children not attending our Catholic School need to be registered and attend Family Formation to prepare for First Reconciliation. A First Reconciliation Booklet is completed at home with their parents’ help.

For more information, please contact Deacon Dan Brewer at 651-501-2201.

First Holy Communion preparation is offered to those parents whose children (usually second graders) are ready to receive Holy Communion. Preparation will begin each year in October.

Children not attending our Catholic School need to be registered and attend Family Formation to prepare for First Holy Communion.
