 SACRAMENTAL PROGRAMS - FIRST RECONCILIATION AND FIRST EUCHARIST
Parents of students in 2nd grade or older who wish to celebrate these Sacraments for the first time work with the Faith Formation Director. Parents are asked to go through special sacramental material with their child at home. The material presented in religion classes in school or Faith Formation classes is meant to reinforce and compliment what the parents have begun at home. Parents and children attend an Orientation Session, and come to a Parent/Child retreat for each sacrament. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated in December and the Sacrament of the Eucharist is celebrated in April or May.

 SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM - CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is a sacrament of initiation into the Faith Community. In 9^th grade our students go through the Catechism and review basic Catholic doctrine and prayers. In 10^th grade, our students take part in an experiential learning program meant to help them discover their gifts and talents and develop their own unique spirituality. Students do 15 hours of service, and attend a mandatory retreat as part of the Confirmation requirements.
