What is Restored Order?

Restored order refers to the practice of celebrating the Sacraments of Initiation in the following order:

Baptism –> Confirmation –> Eucharist

It restores the Holy Eucharist to the climax of initiation. We are returning to the original order of the Sacraments of Initiation in our Diocese.

What is Changing for 2025-2026?

  • Family Faith Formation Kindergarten through 12th grade (our Family Adventure Day Program)
