  • Pre-K (age 4-6): Students will come to the Parish Hall for the first half of the 9AM Mass and learn the Gospel of the day and basic prayers. Students will return to Mass to be with their families after the homily. NO REGISTRATION FEE, but please submit a registration form (see below under “Registration & Fees”).

    1st Grade: Students will study the basics of the faith including a deeper meaning of Creation, the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Church, morality, and the Sacraments. This class is required prior to receiving the Sacrament of Confession in the second grade.

  • 3rd Grade: Students will focus on the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion and receive both at the same Mass.

  • Confirmation (ages 10-17): Students who have received the Sacraments of Baptism, First Confession, and First Holy Communion and are between 10-17 years old will begin a two-year program preparing them to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. They will review the sacraments they have already received and Salvation History in the first half of the semester. In the second half, they will prepare for Confirmation.

  • RCIC (ages 12-17): Students who are twelve years of age or older and have not been baptized or received the Sacraments of First Confession or First Holy Communion will begin a two-year program.
