Tracy Connolly is the catechist for grades 9 and 10 and coordinates
the preparation for Confirmation for those grades. Confirmation is
celebrated at St. Raphael Cathedral every two years. Students are
involved in a two year preparation process before Confirmation, which
includes participation by parents and sponsors. And as learning is a life long process, the Cathedral provides educational opportunities for adults as well. For more information on our religious education programs, please contact the rectory. |
