A.   FIRST RECONCILIATION AND FIRST COMMUNION,     

      GRADE 2 (or as needed)

Second grade students, or older, can prepare for the sacraments of First Reconciliation (fall) and First Communion (spring) in one year.  

Children can enroll in one of two models offered for Sacramental Preparation: Group Model (parents and children complete the provided materials at home) or Classroom Model (children attend sessions to complete materials with a catechist and an assistant). All children, and their parents, attend two retreats, on Saturdays as scheduled, in preparation for each sacrament.  Schedule may be viewed here.

B.   CONFIRMATION, GRADES 9-12

The sacrament of Confirmation is a time to confess your faith to the Lord, to pledge your love to Him, and to promise to serve Him faithfully throughout your life. Confirmation Preparation at Parish of the Assumption is a two-year process, beginning in July and ending in June. Our two year program, BOOT CAMP, has all the qualities you are looking for: concise teaching, concentrated time frame, deep faith sharing and development, and an invitation to deepen your own relationship with Christ.  Please see Confirmation Brochure for details.
