Kindergarteners engage in age-appropriate faith activities focusing on God’s love for you individually. This class time is the seedbed used to sew an understanding of salvation history and that God had you in mind all along.
These grades engage real theological topics that branch from the truth that God loves us and wants us to be happy. The topics circulate around the sacramental life – that it is integral to the Christian life. We highlight strongly that Jesus’ example and the Church exists to offer us encouragement and an opportunity to live as truly as possible, and that happiness and truth are linked.
Sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion typically occurs in second grade. Sacramental preparation includes special session family meetings, a rehearsal, and a bread making retreat for First Communion.
