8th GRADE

Welcome to the 8th grade Program!

This is an important step in the life of your teen. We begin, in eighth grade, by reviewing and preparing the youth to enter the Rite of Confirmation Program, to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in high school.

Eighth Grade Program Overview: Eighth grade program begins in the fall and ends in the spring. Currently, the curriculum is exploring the wider church and “Living the Mass” by Loyola Press.

We begin by exploring the Church History, and then they will dive deeper into what it means to live the Mass.

We break open the liturgy, (great for adults too!) and take what we discussed with us into the other six days of the week. The celebration of the MASS IS THE CORNERSTONE OF THE Catholic faith.
 

All classes at St Catherine in Westford
