Holy Family Parish, Stow, Ohio

He fed them with the finest wheat

and satisfied them with honey from the rock.

Psalm 81:17

At Holy Family, our Sacramental Preparation program nurtures each child’s growing relationship with Jesus. Through classroom lessons, family-centered events, prayer, and participation in Sunday Mass, we partner with parents to help children understand both the meaning and the beauty of these sacred moments. Together, we prepare hearts to receive Jesus with joy, reverence, and a true sense of belonging in His Church.

Important: Retreats and Mandatory Practice

Participation in our Source & Summit Retreat (for parents and children), Jesus Day Retreat (children only), and Group First Communion Practice is an essential part of your child’s preparation for receiving the Eucharist. These experiences are more than just events—they are meaningful opportunities for your child to grow in understanding, reverence, and love for this sacred Sacrament. Each one helps your child encounter Jesus more personally and receive the spiritual graces needed to be truly ready.

We kindly ask for your full participation and cooperation in making these moments a priority. If your child is participating in Group First Communion, attendance at the practice is  mandatory. Please mark your calendars now for Friday, May 8th from 6:00–7:00 PM in the Church and LCH. This practice ensures your child feels confident, prepared, and focused on the beauty of the day—not the logistics.

We are grateful for your commitment and partnership as we walk with your child toward this holy and joyful milestone.
