School Year Activities

Sacraments

 

Baptism: In rare cases, a student who has not been baptized asks for the sacrament. They receive the sacrament after receiving the appropriate catechetical preparation.

 

Reconciliation: When students need it. For the third graders as preparation for their First Communion, for students receiving their Confirmation and during spiritual retreats. 

 

First Communion: Third Grade Students of other grade levels who have not made it; teachers prepare them if they ask for it.

 

Confirmation Eleventh/ Twelve Grade: Only students who ask for Confirmation. This sacrament is received when students have decided by themselves they are ready to declare the Catholic faith as the faith they want to embrace for the rest of their lives; it is mandatory that it is received freely and without external pressure.
