• Students who have attended two consecutive years of class, and are baptized are eligible to receive First Holy Communion. For example: If your child is baptized, attended 1st grade Faith Formation, and registers for/attends 2nd grade Faith Formation (ECHO) this school year they will receive in May 2025.
• Students who begin class in their kindergarten or 1st Grade year and move through the program regularly, will receive Communion in their 2nd grade year.
• Students who are in 2nd grade registering for their first year of class will be placed in a 1st grade ECHO class.
• Students in 3rd grade registering for their second year of class will be placed in a 2nd grade ECHO class. 
• Students in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade registering for their first year of class will be placed in their regular grade's Echo class. 
• Students in 4th, or 5th grade registering for their second year of class will be placed in an Echo: Sacramental Pathways Class of children in all three grades. 
• Sacramental Pathways is just a fancy way of saying your child is older than 2nd grade receiving First Holy Communion this year. 

Sacramental Pathways will only be available on Sundays.

Edge is our Faith Formation program for those in 6th and 7th grade.

EDGE is a program written by Life Teen for Middle School students. It is Youth Ministry based, and meant to help lead middle school youth closer to Christ!

7th grade EDGE is required for reception of Confirmation in 8th grade.

EDGE Times:

Sunday: 9:30 pm - 10:45 pm

Monday: 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm

Confirmation is for students who are in 8th grade, have attended two consecutive years of Faith Formation classes, are baptized, and have completed the necessary requirements, are eligible to be Confirmed at the end of the school year. 

For example: If your child is baptized, has received First Holy Communion, attended EDGE in 7th grade, registers for and attends our 8th grade Confirmation classes, and passes their Discernment Meeting, they will be Confirmed at the end of the 2025 school year! 

Discernment Meetings are meetings conducted by the Clergy of our parish to determine if a Confirmation Candidate is prepared to be Confirmed. These meetings will happen around February of the school year. If your child does not pass the first time, they will be able to do a make-up meeting! 

If your child is in 8th grade, registering for their first year of class, they need to register for the EDGE program this year, and Confirmation Classes next year (their 9th Grade year).

If your child is in 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and needs to be confirmed, they can register for our High School Confirmation Class on the OCIA page. 

Confirmation is usually around April or May.
These dates are determined by the Bishop of our Diocese, and it is likely that we will not have them until December. 

High School Youth Ministry for 9th -12th grade students.

Life Teen is held most Sundays after the 5:00 pm Mass.

Our Life Teen Group also hosts speakers, special events, retreats and social activities.

If your child is looking for a deeper relationship with Christ, or maybe just a good, safe place to hang out, Life Teen provides all of that and more! Find more information on our Life Teen Page here.

If your child is in 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and is missing a Sacrament, they can register for our High School Confirmation Class on the OCIA page.
