Vision & Mission

The Sacrament Preparation program at Holy Cross Catholic Church, in compliance with the Diocese of Phoenix Sacramental Policy Gift from on High, strives "to take care that those who seek the sacraments are prepared to receive them by proper evangelization and catechetical instruction;" and takes from the Sacramental Policy Grace, Mercy, and Peace that, “all Christian formation is to draw its’ inspiration and direction from the principles and processes of the Order of Christian Initiation.” Through participation in the liturgy, weekly classes, family and sponsor activities, retreats, and service projects we focus on building and maintaining a comprehensive Sacrament preparation program for students in grades 2-12. We strive to create a safe, intergenerational environment where young people can learn and share together in faith and are ultimately fully Initiated into the Catholic Church.

Classes are held on a weekly basis from mid-September through mid-May on Tuesday evenings. Registration and a supply fee to defray program expenses are required to participate. Please contact Kristen in the Religious Education office for more information.
