St. Edward Catholic School

All students attending St. Edward Catholic School attend religion classes given at their grade level. They also attend Mass and religious liturgical services as deemed appropriate by the pastor, principal, and/or teacher.

Second-grade students are prepared for their first reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation (Penance) and Holy Eucharist. Although the children receive training in the classroom, the child's religious education is the primary responsibility of the parents. To assist parents in training their children for the reception of these sacraments, parents are required to attend two training sessions for each Sacrament. The schedule for parent sessions is published in advance of these mandatory meetings under the direction of the parish Director of Religious Education.

Students who are in 3rd grade or above and have not yet received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and/or Eucharist will also be prepared for these Sacramental encounters, provided parents attend the required training sessions.
