The documents of the Second Vatican Council remind us that we are never more visibly the Church than when we gather to celebrate Mass.  Catholics believe the Eucharist is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Christ, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood we become, more and more, the very presence that we consume.

Parents are privileged to hold the chief responsibility for the spiritual development of their child. A parish's Religious Education Program and the parish school exist to complement the parents' role of instilling spiritual values in their children and sharing their Catholic faith with them.  Sacraments are a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to grow closer to each other and in the faith.

At St. Veronica, great attention is given to the sacramental life of the church.  Therefore, parents are strongly encouraged to routinely receive the sacraments and attend Mass on Sunday as part of the family unit.

Children who are baptized and enrolled in the Second Grade of REP (Religious Education Program) or St. Veronica School make preparations for the sacrament of Eucharist.

Parents are required to attend parent formation meetings in readiness for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion.
