Christian Formation at Saint Bridget
The Saint Bridget Christian Formation program is open to all parish children. To be eligible for First Reconciliation & First Eucharist diocesan guidelines stipulate that children must be in Catholic school or Christian Formation classes the year prior to receiving the sacrament. First Eucharist is generally in second grade. In order to adhere to diocesan guidelines, your child should begin Christian Formation classes in the first grade. Necessary registration forms are available to download on this page, or are available in the church office. All of the forms are up-to-date for the 2011-2012 school year.
