First Holy Communion/Confirmation

Our religious education program supports the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation.  
 
First Holy Communion is celebrated usually when the children are in Second Grade.  The sacrament of Confirmation is necessary to complete the “sacraments of Christian initiation” begun by baptism.  Confirmation is usually celebrated when children are between the age of discretion (considered to be about age seven) and about sixteen years of age.  In our parish, the Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in eighth grade. Nevertheless, there are classes for children of non-traditional age to receive their sacraments.
 
In order to receive the Sacraments of Communion and Confirmation, students are required to complete religious education. Additionally, families of First Holy Communion candidates will be required to participate in a preparation class.
 
Families participating in Sacraments will be asked for addition fee to assist with the expenses on Communion/Confirmation Day.

CCD Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers heavily support our religious education program for children.  Parents, high school students and parishioners teach, assist teachers, coordinate class schedules, and plan for the Sacraments and CCD-sponsored Masses. Their efforts are critical to the parish and we welcome more assistance. 
 
If you have time or a skill that you're willing to contribute we welcome it.  Please contact us at reled.spcolr@gmail.com to discuss.
