Class Descriptions for:

RCIC 2 Review and Preparation for Confirmation

St. Clement’s offers three concentrated Sacrament preparation courses for students who, because of age or inexperience, will not be placed in the general Level 1 - Confirmation class. For those students, the following options may be available based on enrollment.

• RCIC 1 Communion: For students in grades 4 through 8 who have NOT received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. This is a one year, accelerated sacrament preparation class and students will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation in March of 2024 and the Sacrament of First Holy Communion in May of 2024.  After completing RCIC 1, students can continue their religious education in the Level corresponding to their current school grade.

• RCIC 2:  For students entering grades 7 to 10 who HAVE received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion but, have NOT continued attending yearly Religious Education. To enter Year 1 of Confirmation Preparation classes, these students must attend 1 year of RCIC 2. This is a rigorous class designed as both a “catch up” class AND Pre-Confirmation class. Students are required to attend weekly Mass and complete 2 hours of service to St. Clement Church.
