CCD Guidelines for Sacramental Classes

GUIDELINES FOR SACRAMENTAL CLASSES

To receive first Communion, one must:

Be baptized
Attend first and second grade instruction.

Students who register for the second grade program who were not in a recognized first grade program must enroll in the first grade program.

To be confirmed, one must:

Have been baptized and not yet confirmed.
Be able to renew the baptismal promises (if he/she has the use of reason).
Be properly disposed; have the desire to prepare themselves for reception of the Sacrament.
Be suitably instructed, having attended grade seven and eight religious instruction and grade nine preparation with no more than three unexcused absences from grade eight and nine.

Students who register for the eighth grade who were not in a recognized seventh grade program must enroll in the seventh grade.

A Catholic school student, who is a parishioner and attends school outside our parish, should register with our program at the beginning of the seventh grade to be able to fulfill the Triduum and retreat confirmation requirements.
