Sacramental Information

Reception of the Sacraments

In order to receive a sacrament in the Religious Education Program you must complete the consecutive 2 year attendance requirement and any other requirements necessary for the sacrament you will be receiveing.

Confirmation is usually celebrated in 8th grade.

1st Reconciliation and Communion are usually celebrated in 2nd grade.

Children in grades 3-7 who need to receive the sacraments of 1st Reconciliation and Communion, will be part of our Special Sacraments program and will be enrolled in our Special Sacraments Class in their 2nd consecutive year of attendance. 

The Special Sacraments class is designed to be a separate class to prepare the students for these sacraments. 

The Special Sacraments class meets on a separate Saturday each month from 9:00-11:00am.
