Classes are offered for the following age groups:

• Middle School (Grades 6, 7, 8)

Second semester study for Grade 2 children focuses almost exclusively on the study and appreciation of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist, preparing them to make their first Confession and receive their First Holy Communion.

Sacramental Class – As appropriate, for children who haven’t yet been catechized, this annual class helps prepare them for receipt of respective sacraments.
