Confirmation
Confirmation is administered to students at the end of the 8th Grade after they have completed a full course of study at the 6th and 7th grade levels. New students who wish to enter the 8th Grade will be given an assessment to determine their proper grade placement.
The list of students who will be receiving First Penance, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation during the school year will be finalized at the beginning of each school year.
