Grade three faith formation focuses on preparing the children to receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.  We use the "Call to Celebrate" sacrament preparation program.  The first eight weeks of the year focus on First Reconciliation preparation.  We then take 4 - 6 weeks exploring the mysteries of the Rosary.  Beginning in January we begin preparation for First Holy Communion.  Each Sacrament preparation program has a supplemental "retreat" experience.

Families may choose between after school and evening classes.  Both meet for one hour each week. 

Parents are asked to select their preference of dates for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.  They are also asked to complete astudent information form which is used to update the St. Patrick Church records.

Children and their families are invited and encouraged to attend the Gathering in Grace sessions.
