Sacrament Policy

Children in Saint John Fisher Parish traditionally receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist in 2^nd grade, and Confirmation in 8^th grade. Our parish follows the Archdiocesan norms to require at least two years of religious education prior to receiving the sacraments: 1^st and 2^nd grade for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist, and at least 7^th and 8^th grade for Confirmation.

This policy greatly helps the student understand the meaning and importance of each sacrament. This preparation allows to student to have a firm foundation in the living out of these sacraments.

Note: If children fall a year behind, they become part of their actual grade level after First Communion.
