Children's Sacraments: 2024-2025


First Reconciliation and First Eucharist:

First communion and reconciliation will be completed in third grade starting this year. 

We do request students attend second grade in person classes as a prerequisite. 

Preparation for these Sacraments includes in person classes, mass attendance, Sacramental Retreats and rehearsals.

Confirmation:

Confirmation is completed in eighth grade. We do request students to attend seventh grade in person or online as a prerequisite. All students entering the eighth grade program are required to know the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be prayer before classes begin September 29.

The Confirmation ceremony is scheduled by the Bishops office and we do not know when it will be until December. It usually falls on a weekday and can be on a Saturday but that is not the norm. I submitted a request to the bishop's office not to offer confirmation during our spring break. The other dates once classes are complete are fair game for the Bishop. When I am told the date, I will share it via email and online. We hold two ceremonies on the same night, 5pm and 7pm. We will have a signup for these options sometime in February.
