Tuesday, August 24th:

Catholic school and homeschool students hoping to receive First Communion (usually in the 2nd grade) or Confirmation (usually in the 8th grade) this year complete their sacramental preparation through the parish (not the school). This is different from regular religious education. Also, parents of Catholic school or homeschool students hoping to receive Confirmation NEXT year need to speak with the religious education coordinators regarding requirements to be completed THIS year.
