Teen Sacraments
Baptismal and First Eucharist Preparation for Teens
Registration for OCIA for Teens (At SKD we call it OCIT) is offered year round at SKD. Students are prepared for receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation and/or First Communion. Please see below if you think you have a student or know a student who might be a good candidate.
- Students must have completed some sort of faith formation (GIFT, Home Study, FIRE, attended a Catholic School, or completed a certified program at another parish) last school year
- Students must be willing to register for a faith formation program this year (GIFT, Home Study, FIRE, or attended a Catholic School)
- Students must be at least 11 years old or currently be in 6th grade
- Students must be 18 or under AND still be enrolled in grade school
- This program is for teens who still need to prepare and receive the sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation and/or First Communion (students who have already received any of the mentioned but are still missing any of the mentioned are encouraged to sign up)
