Format of classes: in-person. Virtual classes are not being offered.
How long is the program? Classes begin in mid-August and end in early May.
What is the format? Classes meet once a week.
Which class should my child attend? Generally, enroll your child in the public school grade level that they will be attending in August. Review the following items for more information.
If your child is Baptized and entering grades 3rd thru 8th in August:
If your child is in grades 3rd-8th and has also received their First Communion, register them for their public school grade level that they will be attending in August.
First Holy Communion: preparation is TWO consecutive years.
If your child is Baptized and entering 1st or 2nd grade in August:
1. The first year (1st grade) of attending religious education classes needs to be completed prior to registering for the second year (2nd grade). Children should be at least 6 years old to enter the 1st grade class.
2. If your child is entering public school second grade in August with NO Catholic religious education the previous year you will need to register them in a first grade PSR class; and the following year in a second grade class.
3. If your child is in grades 3rd through 8th and has NOT received their First Communion, register them for Sacramental Prep Year ONE class. The following year they will attend the Sacramental Prep Year TWO class.
If your child is NOT Baptized:
1. If your child is younger than 8 years old, they need to be Baptized immediately. Then they can attend our first grade class.
2. If your child is in grades 3rd thru 8th, register them for RCIA/C Year ONE class. The following year register them for the RCIA/C Year TWO class (current 8th graders will attend Confirmation Prep the following two years to receive their sacraments).
