Reconciliation/Confession: After Baptism we celebrate Reconciliation.
A person's 1st Reconciliation should be done before their 1st Communion... there is one exception to the rule, that is if someone has severe special needs and cannot recognize right from wrong.

Communion/Eucharist: Comes after Reconciliation. The minimum age requirement for 1st Communion is 7 years old and 2nd grade. This is only the basic minimum age. ALL are welcome!

Pre-Confirmation: 7th & 8th grade! Our Pre-Confirmation program will help you and your child build a strong foundation that is needed to prepare for Confirmation. It is extremely important that you attend this program with your child (required). We meet once a month for the family sessions AND once a month just the kids... total of 2 times a month.
Starting in 2022/23 Faith Formation season these will be required before entering the Confirmation program.

Confirmation: This is a 2 year program (5 if you include the pre-Confirmation program)
Typically these classes are taken in 9th ("Year 1") and 10th grade ("Year 2")
It is extremely important for your teen to attend every session as well as do their homework. If they don’t, they will not understand the importance of this 3rd and final Sacrament of Initiation.
