Baptism Preperation

Peggy Rowe

This program is designed to assist parents in their preparation for the baptism of their children up to the age of 7. Parents and godparents are encouraged to understand how important it is for them to share their faith life with their children as this will be the basis for their children’s faith journey.

We offer a 1-session course usually the first Saturday of the month for both parents to attend.

Children’s Liturgy
The Children’s Liturgy of the Word program is designed for children between the ages of 4-12 years. It is headed by a team of adult volunteers and parent volunteers. Registration is required.

For more information or to volunteer contact the Parish Office (403) 285-3773.

Confirmation

This sacrament of initiation prepares candidates to become full members of the church. The process is designed to assist the candidates as they take their places as mature Christians to face the challenges in the world and Church. The journey in faith by the candidates is made through input, support, encouragement, example and commitment on the part the parents, sponsors and the faith community of St. Thomas More. This process needs volunteer catechists, interviewers, and general administrative assistants. For more information contact our office (403) 285-3773.
