Sacramental Preparation

Sacramental Preparation is a program for children in elementary school who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of First Communion. 

​

Elementary Faith Formation

Elementary Faith Formation is for baptized children in elementary school who are continuing their catechetical instruction in preparation for their Holy Communion.  These classes are focused on deepening the child's understanding of the Catholic Faith and developing the child's sense of solidarity with the Catholic Church at large.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (R.C.I.C.)

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Children is a program for children who are 7 years or older and need to be baptized. Canon Law of the Catholic Church requires that children who have reached the age of reason (7 years old) go through catechetical formation in order to receive the Sacrament of Baptism.
