Baptism

By appointment. Families are asked to participate in a one-time formation before the Baptism of the first child.


First Reconciliation

Students at the age of reason (typically second grade) celebrate their first Reconciliation during this year. All children & youth (from public, private, and homeschool) and their parents make at least one retreat before the celebration of the sacrament. Dates for the retreat and 1st Reconciliation will be set at the start of the school year.


First Communion

Students again at the age of reason celebrate their first Communion during this year.
