Grade 2 (and some 3rd graders) will meet every other Sunday while preparing for First Confession (December 11, 2024) and First Communion (April 30, 2025). Classes are from 9:00-10:15 am at Immaculate Conception (Sunday Mass at IC follows at 10:30 am). Catechist is Mrs. Ruth Smith.
We use the Signs of Grace program from Augustine Institute.
Sacramental preparation is a parish activity that is overseen by the Faith Formation program. Sacramental preparation is mainly spiritual, not academic.
Thus our second graders will be doing Sacramental preparation (spiritual) on Sundays and Faith Formation (catechesis) on Wednesdays.
First Communion Late-Comers, "OOSBOTS": For students 4th grade and up who are baptized Catholics but have not yet received First Communion, we are pleased to offer our "Out-of-Sequence, Back-on-Track" (OOSBOT) class for the children and their parents. The class meets on Wednesdays, 6:30 to 7:45 p.m., at Nativity school. Please see the OOSBOT page for more information.
We also, of course, serve those who are unbaptized, or baptized in another faith tradition, to become Catholic through our RCIA/RCIC program.
