Level I and Level II Catechesis can be completed in the following ways:

Catholic School - Level I and II are completed at a Catholic High School during grades 9 & 10. These students must register with our program in both 9th and 10th grade to insure they will receive all Confirmation related notifications.

Public High School - Students have the following to choose from:

  1. Traditional Program - Classes meet in the home of the catechist during a regular school year, as well as participation in workshops at the parish. All Group Session Workshops are attended by the students and catechists.

  2. S.P.L.A.S.H. - Summer Program meets for 1 week inthe summer with additional required activities done with the parish based on the students' abilities and schedule.

  3. Generations of Faith - This is a family program where the entire family participates once a month in a program at the parish, and completes homestudy materials each month. Level I is offered this year and Level II will be added for the 2010-11 school year.
