imageFirst Reconciliation
Children who are in their second year of Religious Studies prepare for this sacrament of healing. Parents, as the first teachers of their children, are asked to attend a seminar so that they may work with the teachers to guide the children to our loving and forgiving Father. Children celebrate their First Reconciliation with prayer, reading, reflection, and hymns.

First Eucharist
Children prepare for First Communion in their second year of Religious Studies. Parents lead children through their example of Sunday Mass and family prayer, and are invited to attend a seminar to continue reflection on the gift of Eucharist in their lives. Reflection on the Sunday readings in the home is encouraged so that the children might come to know our friend, Jesus.

Confirmation
Confirmation is celebrated in the sixth year of Religious Studies. As a reminder of baptismal commitment, candidates begin their service to the Church, family and community. Candidates study, pray, and reflect as their preparation for this Initiation Sacrament. Parents attend a seminar to help children to grow in understanding of their spiritual life.
