Communion Program
Our Communion Program involves two years of preparation, beginning in the first grade and ending with the reception of the Sacrament in the second. Children are required to continue in the Program in grades three through six in order to earn further knowledge in faith formation and to qualify for the Confirmation Program. We also offer classes geared towards older children (fourth grade and up) who have not yet received their First Holy Communion.
Confirmation Program
Our program consists of Confirmation 1 (usually for 7th graders) and Confirmation 2 (usually for 8th graders). Please click this link to obtain further information on service projects, sponsor and Confirmation name forms, guidelines for sharing the story of your saint, and the official guidelines for the letter to the pastor.
RCIA Program
