Class Placement
More information regarding your child’s class placement and catechist will be sent to you via email after you register your child/ren.

First Communion – One year of faith formation is required before beginning First Communion preparation.  Students will make their First Communion in 2nd grade, provided they have had the first year of preparation.  Older students will also be required to have a year of faith formation.  This class may be a grade level class or a multi-grade “catch up” class.  

Confirmation – Students who have not been confirmed will begin their first year of Confirmation preparation in 7th grade and continue with the second year of Confirmation preparation in 8th grade.  Newly enrolled 8th graders will be placed in the first year of Confirmation preparation and will need the second year of preparation in 9th grade to be confirmed in the spring of 2025.  Students anticipating a Quinceanera should attend Confirmation classes in 7th and 8th grade.  

All new students will need to submit a copy of their baptismal certificate by the first day of class. 

If you have any questions, please contact Regina Mann at the Faith Formation Office by email at stmarybloomington.dre@gmail.com or call the office at 309-827-8526.
