Sacraments*

Students in 2nd grade prepare throughout the school year to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion. Students in 2nd grade prepare to receive these Holy Sacraments through daily religion classes, annual retreats, participation in weekly Masses, and other at-home activities designed to help parents support students in their faith formation. Students in grades 3-8 who have not received these Sacraments may participate in a year-long preparation program offered by the parish. In addition to the above activities that occur in their respective grades, students participate in an additional class throughout the school year given by the parish that is geared toward Sacramental preparation. Students may also participate in the parish's Religious Education program if the parents wish to do so. Parents are encouraged to speak to the school principal, Religious Education Coordinator, or their child's teacher if they would like their child to receive any of the Holy Sacraments.    ​
