Eighth and ninth grade years are focused on the Sacrament of Confirmation and Living as a Disciple of Jesus Christ. See below.
High school is a time of further discovering who you are and your mission in life. High School gatherings focus on scripture, fellowship, and serving others.
The Sacraments of the Catholic Church are perceptible signs (words and actions) accessible to our human nature. The sacraments give life meaning, conform us to Christ and His Body, the Church, and they give us the strength we need on the journey.
First Penance and First Communion typically take place in second grade. In the Blessed program by Dynamic Catholic, the young people with their families learn that they are loved and desired by God, and that He is calling them to become the best version of themselves in these two sacraments. God offers us His forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Jesus offers us himself as food for the journey in Holy Communion.
Confirmation is a two-year program starting in eighth grade with the reception of the sacrament the spring of ninth grade. It completes the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist). These young persons spend two years deepening their relationship with God, unveiling their true identity in God, and preparing to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
