First Reconciliation and First Communion for 2nd grade students and older.
Students must have at least 2 years of Faith Formation before receiving these sacraments.
Confirmation 1 for 9th or 10th grades
Confirmation 2 for 10th or 11th grades
The oldest grade is 12th grade and the student must have at least 2 years of confirmation before receiving the sacrament.
OCIC (Order of Christian Initiation for Children): Children who are 7 years or older must go to this special class to be prepared to receive Baptism, First Eucharist, and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil. This class will continue to the end of the school year. Students must make a commitment to continue their faith formation for the next years.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a learning model that strives to show the unique relationship between God and the child. Children need their own place to foster the growth of that relationship. The growth of this relationship is assisted by the adult, but is directed by the Spirit of God within the child. Interested in putting your child(ren) in this program?
