SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS
Reconciliation and Eucharist
Children enter into a two year program typically beginning in grade one. Included in the preparation process are two parent meetings, two parent/child meetings and two parent/child retreats. Parents are expected to take an active role in the process to help enable their child to appreciate and celebrate the sacraments as lifelong gifts.
Confirmation
Following full formation of primary and secondary grades, teens enter into a two year program which culminates with the celebration of Confirmation in the fall of the third year. In addition to scheduled class times, preparation includes 2 retreats, 10 hours of Christian service each year, parent/student meetings and sponsor formation.
Special Needs
Our program welcomes children with special needs. We do our best to welcome each child into a typical classroom whenever possible. When a typical classroom is not able to meet the needs of a child, accommodations are made to help nurture the child’s faith in an alternate setting.
