Sacraments for Teens
What is it?
The Sacraments for Teens program at St. Peter’s is for students in Grades 6 to 12 who are looking to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church. This includes those preparing to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist for the first time, as well as Catholic teens who may have missed First Reconciliation, First Communion, or Confirmation at an earlier age.
Wherever you’re at on your faith journey, you’re welcome here.
How It Works
Our Sacraments for Teens program runs in conjunction with our Confirmation program. We kindly ask that families register under the Sacrament of Confirmation, and identify their need for additional Sacraments through the registration form.
- One Parent Gathering Session (Parent Only)
- Six Student Gathering Sessions (Student Only, Parents attend session 6)
- One Weekend Retreat (dates to be provided by the Diocese)
- Additional sessions will be added for those requiring additional Sacraments.
- Preparation includes time for prayer, learning about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and building community.
- The date of the Confirmation celebration is assigned by the Bishop and usually takes place between May and June.
Specific dates and times as well as additional details will be available at the first session.
Our sessions this year will be offered on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6pm until 7:30pm. Our Parent Gathering will take place on November 24th & 25th, 2025 (please note, you only need to pick one session to attend).
