Welcome to your second year of Faith Formation! Level 2 is the second of a two-year preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. Children must complete Level 1 before entering Level 2.
During this year, children will focus on the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. We call God, Emmanuel, which means "God with Us!" This name for God couldn't be more true for Our Lord truly present in the Eucharist. God wants nothing more than to dwell in our hearts and through proper reception of the Eucharist, we are initiated into true communion and relationship with Him.
Our Level 2 Program includes the following:
The Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. It is the very center and essence of our relationship with God. Jesus said that “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." (John 6:53) When we miss Mass, we spiritually starve ourselves. Therefore, Mass attendance each Sunday is required.
The first time we encounter Christ is in his True Presence in the Eucharist is a beautiful and powerful moment in the life of every Catholic. Children preparing to receive their first Holy Communion can sometimes miss just how special this moment is amid all the hustle and bustle of that “First Communion Day.” Received helps children understand and appreciate the incredible gift we’re offered in the Eucharist through engaging high-quality videos, fun and interesting activities, and much more. Children and their parents will come away with a deeper love and gratitude for this transformative sacrament.

Over the year, the children will watch videos that are geared toward a deeper understanding of the two Sacraments they will be receiving this year. Two will be from Brother Francis and two will be an in depth look at how to go to confession and what actually happens at the consecration during Mass. This assignment will be completed at home.
Each level consists of an at home biblical element. Saint Jermone says that, "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." Each month, your child will learn a new piece of our biblical story of salvation so they can grow in God's Love. This assignment will be completed at home.
