SACRAMENTAL INFORMATION AND CELEBRATIONS AT ABVM
​
God pours out his grace to us in Sacraments. The celebration of Sacraments is a graced time for the individual, the family, the parish, and the Church. In accordance with Archdiocesan guidelines, children celebrate Sacraments in the parishes in which they are registered members, regardless of where they attend school. We look forward to working with families as they celebrate these important milestones.
