Sacramental preparation

CatechismClass.com offers four online Sacramental Preparation Courses: First Confession (or First Penance), First Communion (or First Eucharist), Confirmation, and Baptism. These programs are designed to be used as supplements to our package programs in our grade units. These lessons are especially and solely written to prepare students for the Sacraments (but work well as stand alone components also).

The structure of each Sacramental Prep course is simple. The lessons are separated into segments that can be tackled one at a time or several at a time. These programs allow for individualized pacing to provide children with a program tailored to his needs and your time. Each student will receive a complete understanding of the Sacrament and will be well prepared to receive that Sacrament upon completion of these courses.

There is a comprehensive quiz at the end of each of these lessons.

They may be purchased individuality or at a discount if all four are purchased at once.
