Preparation for the Sacraments

In keeping with diocesan policy, preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation (aka Confession or Penance) Eucharist ( aka communion) and Confirmation are readiness based and freestanding, in addition to our regular weekly classes. Catholic School students are exected to prepare for the sacraments in the parish where their family is registered.

Cost

We ask that parents do their best to make a donation of $40 per student or $100 per family, however we know that many families are struggling financially at this time and no one will be turned away if they cannot make a donation toward their child's religious education. Please do not hesitate to register your child even if you are unable to make a donation this year.
