Sacramental Preparation at Saint Luke
BLAZE
Preparing hearts to receive the grace of the sacraments and live it for a lifetime.
What is BLAZE?More than preparing for a day.
BLAZE is the name we give to sacramental preparation at Saint Luke. It is a focused pathway for children, teens, adults, and families preparing to receive the sacraments.
Because the sacraments are not simply milestones to celebrate, but real encounters with Jesus Christ, BLAZE helps each person grow in faith, understanding, and readiness to receive the grace God desires to give.
FIRE + BLAZE work together.
FIRE forms our whole parish family. BLAZE goes deeper with those preparing for a sacrament. In our sacramental pathways, participants experience both, allowing preparation to happen within the larger life of our parish family.
