Tentative Sacrament Dates

We have set tentative sacrament dates for the First Communion and Confirmation Masses. Unfortunately, given the coronavirus, attendance at First Communion and Confirmation Masses will be limited; families have already received information about rehearsals and who can attend, but family, friends and parishioners who cannot attend are invited to watch the Masses via livestream.

• First Communion Mass for St. Michael Catholic School students: Saturday, June 6, 11 AM
• First Communion Mass for Faith Formation students: Sunday, June 7, at 1:30 PM
• Confirmation Mass: Wednesday, June 10, at 7 PM

These dates are tentative until we know we can hold public Masses. All three are at St. Michael Catholic Church.
