Kindergarten through 8th Grade Sacramental Preparation
St. Mary's works to share the fullness of the Catholic Faith with our parish's children and their parents. As parents are the first teachers of the Faith for their children, we seek to include and assist parents in their modelling of the Catholic Faith for their children in their daily lives. Our Faith Formation classes are designed to support parents of children from Kindergarten through High School. Two years of required instruction and preparation before children receive their Sacraments, typically receiving Reconciliation and First Eucharist in second grade, and Confirmation in eigth grade, although we also have special classes for children receiving Sacraments at a later age Calendar 2024-2025
