This program is designed to serve students that are baptized but did not make First Penance and Holy Eucharist in the second grade. Therefore, it is necessary to include them in a specially designed program that prepares them for the reception of the Sacraments.
If a student is 16 years of age or under and has not received the Sacrament of Confirmation but is in the 8th grade but has not had a minimum of 2 years of catechesis s/he will need to undergo preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. However, if the student is beyond 16 years of age and beyond 9th grade s/he needs to attend the RCIA program.
