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.
