Children and youth who have not been
baptized or made their First Communion by age 7 will be
in a 2 year preparation program. During the first year they
will receive regular catechism lessons according to their
grade level, and the second one is oriented to the
reception of the sacraments.

All children and youth older than 7, needing a sacrament will need to complete the 2 year preparation.

High School youth will complete a 2 year preparation program to make their Confirmation in the spring of their second year, regardless of grade level.

Please note that RCIA for children/youth, First
Communion and Confirmation Preparation are all 2 year
programs. All students interested in making a sacrament
must be enrolled and attending classes for 2 full years,
missing no more than 5 classes per year (beginning on the
first day of classes, regardless of when the child registers.)

The last day to enroll in classes and qualify for
sacramental preparation this year is October 11.
