Sacraments
- 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.

  The sacrament of Confirmation is coordinated through the parish office. Please reach out to Melissa Capella at mcapella@smoy.org with any questions.
- High School Shadow Visit
  
  Most high schools offer Shadow Days for 8th grade students. It is strongly encouraged to shadow on our In-Service days when students are off. If you are shadowing during a normal school day, 8th grade students should notify their teachers and are responsible for making up their school work. Please be sure to notify the school office of absence on the shadow days as well.
