Religious Education Classes for Children

First Communion preparation is a two-year process by which we bring our students to understand the true presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.  The first year is an overview of the four pillars of the Catholic Faith.  The second year is immediate preparation for them to participate in their First Reconciliation and Penance (Confession) and to receive their First Holy Communion.  

In order to register for First Communion class, parents must provide a copy of their child's  birth certificate and Baptism certificate.

The CCAT program (Children’s Catechumenate) is for children who are 7 years of age or older who have not yet been baptized in the Catholic faith. This 2-year program uses the RCIA model and is adapted for Children or Teens.   
 
In order to register for CCAT, parents must provide a copy of their child's  birth certificate.

Our Confirmation preparation class is a two-year process for high school students. These classes are for teens who have been baptized and are at least sophomore in High School. 

In order to register for Confirmation classes, parents will need to provide a copy of the child’s Baptism and First Communion certificates.
