First Eucharist is celebrated in May. There is one parent meeting, one meeting with parents and children and Bread Baking Day prior to the celebration. Second grade children are prepared as part of their curriculum.

Confirmation is celebrated in the early spring. Candidates are all eighth grade students of the parish. All candidates take part in a six-week preparation program involving their sponsors; Seventh grade students begin to prepare for the Sacrament by performing their service hours.
