The broader and more complex understanding of responsibilities is to be realized by the enrichment of the parents' education and example in the home. We must state that our program is to present solid doctrine rather than opinion. Our Sacramental Program Total Christian formation is reached not only through knowledge, but also through God's graces. We encourage the children in our program to partake in weekly Eucharist and the sacraments. We also encourage parents to do the same.
Personal example is the greatest teacher.
When a student is in second grade he or she generally receives the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist, and in fourth grade the Sacrament of Reconciliation. According to the Milwaukee Archdiocese, the Sacrament of Confirmation should not be received before the candidate has reached age 16 or the junior year in high school. Our candidates receive the Sacrament of Confirmation during their junior year in high school. A Vacation Bible School is held for one week early in the summer for children of preschool age through grade four. Young people learn more about their faith through Bible stories, activities, and songs.
