Preparing students to receive the sacraments is a time-honored practice of the church, and serves as milestones in a lifelong journey of faith formation.
Together with their parents, teachers, and parish priests, our students prepare throughout the year with religion classes, sacramental meetings, and attendance at Mass and adoration.
Students receive the sacraments on Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist in second grade. In eighth grade, students receive the sacrament of Confirmation.

Religion is an integral part of our school day at St. Margaret of York. Our students and staff attend mass together each Tuesday at 8:15 AM. Parents and grandparents are welcome to join us.
In additional to local public high schools, our graduating eighth grade students have the benefit of having a variety of fantastic private high schools in the area to choose from. We encourage our students and their parents to attend high school open houses, plan shadow visits, and find which high school is the best fit for them.
