Sacraments

Through the sacraments we celebrate our love for Christ.  The sacraments are a sacred rite.  They mark important milestones at birth and through our maturity and strengthening of our bond with God.

Children with Special Learning and Physical Needs

Our Lady of Peace strives to meet the learning and formation needs of all children. If your child has special needs (i.e. academic, physical, etc.) we will make every effort to accommodate him/her within our sacrament preparation programs. Please let us know how we may adapt our services for you and your family.
If your child or young person needs special instruction outside the classroom or you choose to work at home with your child, let us know how we may meet his/her needs.
