About
The Sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist are generally received in 2nd Grade. Confirmation is generally received in 8th Grade in the Diocese of Harrisburg. The preparation for these sacraments involves a two-year process in each case (i.e., 1st & 2nd grade for Penance and Holy Eucharist, 7th & 8th grade for Confirmation). Parents are expected to attend parent meetings prior to the reception of each of these Sacraments. A calendar with dates of these sessions will be given to parents of candidates in Grades 2, 7 and 8 in September, at the beginning of the school year.
Sacramental Preparation classes are available for children above the usual age for these sacraments. These may be held on Sunday morning from 10:45 – 11:45 a.m. and would follow the PREP Calendar Schedule. Alternately, they may be held at another time convenient to the family and the tutor.
