The sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion are offered in the 2nd grade. 

Please be aware -  It is a Diocesan requirement that all children preparing to receive a sacrament need to be in either a Religious Education program or a Catholic school for two years prior to the sacrament.  For First Communion, that means your child needs to receive Religious Educaiton beginning in first grade. 

• All parent gatherings are held at 9:30AM & repeated at 7PM.  They are generally short, but provide key information. 

• It is likely this year that these orientations will be virtual gatherings, so it is imperative that if you do not attend SMM School or PREP that you email Karen Yasik ahead of time with your contact information to ensure that you are invited to the gathering.  If unable to attend, please call 652-7141 or e-mail  Karen Yasik.
