Sacramental Preparation (if you are a high school please just remove this section):

St. Bonaventure School is happy to work in partnership with St. John Bosco Parish and other schools in our St. Bonaventure Family to support parents and children in preparing for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion. Sacramental Sessions are offered in the fall, winter and spring in order to accommodate the busy schedules of families in our school community. The Sacramental Program involves:

Parents registering their children for the sacraments and purchasing study guides through the school, at the Parent Information Evening, or through the parish.
Parents and children taking part in three Saturday morning classes (one hour in length) for First Reconciliation or two Saturday morning classes (one hour in length) and a teaching mass for First Communion. All sessions are conducted by one of the parish priests.
Parents and children reviewing assigned sections of the study guides at home prior to the parish-based sessions.
Children receiving the Sacrament of First Communion as a group with classmates from school at a designated mass.
Please note that parents whose child was not baptized at St. Theresa Parish, are required to submit a copy of the child's baptismal certificate with their registrations.

Religious Education:

All of the Schools in the Edmonton Catholic School District use a Religious Education Program that is prescribed by our Alberta Bishops and provided through the National Office for Religious Education in Ottawa. The Program ranges from Kindergarten to Grade Twelve, and offers students with an overview of our Catholic faith as well as grade specific themes.
