In addition to the weekly school Masses, our students also have an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Advent and Lent.
While the sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation are celebrated in the parish of the students, the children prepare for these sacraments in school. The Second Graders prepare for First Reconciliation and for First Eucharist and our Eighth Graders prepare for Confirmation.
