Prerequisites for Sacraments:
First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion
- Years 1 & 2 (previously referred to as grade) are required consecutive levels to prepare for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. Both sacraments are made in Year 2.
Confirmation
- Years 7 & 8 (previously referred to as grade) are required consecutive levels to prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation. This sacrament will be made in Year 8.
To elaborate further, sacraments require two consecutive years of preparation as stated by the Diocese of Joliet, no matter what academic grade your child attends in school. As an example, if your student is in 2nd grade in school but has not attended Year 1 First Communion/Reconciliation prep in R.E., the child will need to be registered for Year 1, not Year 2. If your child is on track for sacrament prep, please enroll accordingly. If you need further clarification, please email the director.
