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.
