Sacramental Catechetical Program
The Turris Eburnea Catechetical program provides sacramental preparation for students not enrolled in the Turris Eburnea Homeschool Academy. Participation in the program is required for receipt of the sacraments of First Holy Eucharist and Confirmation.
In addition to successful participation in the program, children must meet the Diocesan age requirements by the date the sacrament is conferred:
Confirmation: Age 12
First Holy Eucharist: Age 7
The dates for the conferring of the sacraments in 2025 have been set:
Confirmation - Pentecost Sunday - June 8, 2025
First Holy Eucharist - External Solemnity of Corpus Christi - June 22, 2025
Classes are held on Wednesdays at 5:30pm in the parish office, starting on September 18, 2024. Attendance at all Wednesday classes and demonstration of knowledge is required for receipt of the sacraments. If these requirements are not met, sacraments will be deferred to the next academic year.
Please submit one form for each child who will be attending the Turris Eburnea Wednesday Catechesis Program. Submission of this form is required and must be completed no later than September 7, 2024 in order to receive sacraments in 2025. This form is also available in paper format in the vestibule of the church.
