Classes meet weekly from September through early May.
Grades six and seven are prerequisites to the Confirmation program. Students are required to participate in Christian service projects as part of the program. Students actively participate in lectionary catechesis, in which the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday is presented, explained and discussed.
Grade 6 students begin to study Church history. A concentration of the Hebrew Scriptures and the events and people of that time, leading to the incarnation of Jesus Christ and fulfillment of God's promise to send a Messiah are the focus.
Grade 7 students study the Creed, which covers the teaching of our Catholic faith including the Trinity, the Incarnation and the Paschal Mystery. Our hope is that the young people will come to love Jesus and his Church even more, and take their place in society as committed evangelizers.
