For children, preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion begins in the first grade Religious Education program. Immediate and formal preparation occurs in the second grade. Both sacraments take place during the second grade class year.

Children who come to the Religious Education program from other areas must bring a written record of the previously completed and current Religious Education grade levels. Children who enter the program at an older age will be grouped and instructed according to grade level.

There are six required classes for the parents of children receiving these sacraments. Some classes include the child while some classes are for parents only.
