The Grade 2 Sacramental Prep Program focuses on preparing students for the reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist. Students in second grade or higher who have not received either of these sacraments are eligible to enroll. Students will be guided through a program that families work on at home throughout the year. Families may also create small groups and work together with others in the program if that is convenient for them. The program will be overseen by a program leader and families will be provided the materials, detailed instructions and video links for each lesson and will be supported by the program leader throughout the entire process.

There will be two in-person mini retreats held prior to the reception of the Sacraments (in January and April) that will bring the students together to solidify the knowledge they have gained about the sacraments and to ensure they are prepared.

 Most importantly as part of this program, attending Mass every weekend is expected. Mass brings us together as a community of believers to worship God, to pray and thank Him for all He has given to us, to hear God's word and to receive Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. This program curriculum centers around the Mass so attending Mass is vital to supplement the lessons. To encourage this, students will receive a “Massport,”—a small booklet akin to a passport. After each Mass the student attends, they will scan their Massport. Please note that the QR Code on the Massport is not connected to the internet in any way. When a student scans their code, it merely submits their name to a spreadsheet which is only accessible to the church staff. This is an amazing faith journey your student is

embarking on this year and we look forward to meeting you and working with you.
