Sacramental Preparation
First Communion Preparation is a 2 year program! Children should be enrolled in Faith Formation for both first and second grade classes.
​
Children who did not receive their First Communion in Second Grade, can still make it any year, but will need to participate in some additional preparation.
​
Confirmation is a 2 year program as well. Teens will need to be enrolled in the Greater Utica Catholic Teen Formation Program. The sacrament of Confirmation is typically administered in 10th grade.
​
NOTE FOR CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES:
Regardless of where you go for classes, you will still receive the sacrament with your own parish. Your parish contact will remain Rick Hensel (rhensel@syrdio.org). More information regarding Confirmation prep, rehearsal, and Mass, will be communicated by Rick.
