Grade 2 (and some 3rd graders) will meet most Wednesdays preparing for First Confession (December 11) and First Communion (April 23). Classes are from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m. at Immaculate Conception. Catechist is Mrs. Ruth Smith.
We use the Signs of Grace program from Augustine Institute.
Childen studying for First Communion are also encouraged to join in with their parents and siblings (if applicable) doing home lessons from Family of Faith (our grades 1-6 program). Parents who have only a second grader are welcome to be part of a Small Family Group one Wednesday per month. This helps prepare the family for the child's third grade year in Small Groups.
First Communion Late-Comers, "OOSBOTS": For students 4th grade and up who are baptized Catholics but have not yet received First Communion, we are pleased to offer our "Out-of-Sequence, Back-on-Track" (OOSBOT) class for the children and their parents. The class meets on Wednesdays, 6:30 to 7:45 p.m., at Immaculate Conception. After First Confession and First Communion these students and their families will enter Family of Faith Small Family Groups and start home lessons directed by parents.
