Families with children in level 1 will begin the two year process toward the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Queenship of Mary has a time-honored tradition of having the Level 1 students present a Christmas Pageant to the parish on the Feast of The Baptism of the Lord each year.
Level 2 students will, along with their parents, prepare to receive first Reconciliation by participating in a series of four learning experiences culminating in the reception of the Sacrament on Friday November 4, 2011.
Likewise, these students and parents will come together to experience preparation for the Eucharist over a course of four gatherings. First Eucharist will be experienced with the entire parish community on the weekend of May 5 & 6 2012.

"In this sense we naturally should do everything in the context of sacramental preparation to also reach the parents and - let's say- also awaken in them a sensibility for the path that their children are taking."
Pope Benedict XVI
