Sacramental Preparations

The Religious Education Program at St. Peter's follows the guidelines from the Diocese of Madison in the reception of the Sacraments.

First Reconciliation: This sacrament is received in second grade prior to First Eucharist. However, if a child has not received this sacrament and is older than second grade, they may receive it after special instructions are completed. First semester classes will be focused on preparing the children for their First Reconciliation. Those unable to attend class regularly will be expected to complete work at home. The children will be required to attend a morning retreat.

Confirmation: This sacrament is received in the junior year of high school. However, if a candidate has not received this sacrament and is older, they may be confirmed after receiving special instructions. The class years just prior to Confirmation are important years of formation. During this time, concentration is focused on understanding a Catholic life style, sifting through the decision-making skills and situations unique to this lifestyle, and completing a required number of hours of service aimed at this goal.

Attendance during these years is an important step toward a solid faith foundation so the youth can make good decisions and understand the true meaning about receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Students are required to attend high school classes, rally and retreats their junior year for Confirmation.

Recitation of the Rosary

The Rosary is recited twenty minutes before the weekday morning mass.
