​Students entering 2nd grade will prepare for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion throughout the course of the year. Students in grades K-1 are encouraged to be baptized before they enter 2nd grade and receive these 2 sacraments. Students in grades 3-8 who wish to receive the sacraments, are also welcome to prepare for the sacraments with the 2nd grade class and teacher, in cooperation with the Religious Education program provided by St. Anthony of Padua Church. ​

When students graduate from our 8th grade, they are encouraged to sign up for Confirmation classes at the parish starting Year 1 their Freshman year, and Year 2 their Sophomore year. They will ideally prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation at the end of their 10th grade year.
