Altar Servers

This is a volunteer program available to Catholic children in grades 6 and above. Children are trained to assist at Mass. Children serve weekend Masses and Holy Days of Obligation, and school Masses on First Fridays.

School Masses | Confessions

Students from grades K-8 attend Mass at least once a week, on First Fridays and on Holy Days of Obligation.  Confessions are held for students during the Advent and Lenten seasons.

Stations of the Cross

During Lent, the students participate in the Stations of the Cross in their individual classes and as a whole school.

Confirmation

Holy Redeemer School and CCD students prepare for Confirmation in eighth grade. Each student researches and writes a paper on a chosen saint, and does a certain number of community service hours. Confirmation takes place in the second semester of eighth grade.

First Communion

Holy Redeemer Catholic School and CCD students in second grade receive First holy Communion on a Saturday morning after Easter Sunday, usually the first Saturday in May. Prior to receiving First Holy Communion, a daylong retreat is scheduled for the students.

May Procession

Each year the Parish participates in a May Procession on the first Sunday in May. Parishioners gather in the front driveway of Holy Redeemer School near the statue of Mary for prayers and a ceremony crowning Mary.
