Grades 1-5 follow the Faith & Life Curriculum published by Ignatius Press.  These texts are faithful to the Magisterium of the Church and provide students with doctrinal formation necessary to live a faithful Catholic life.  Students in the lower grades receive workbooks to help aid them in understanding the faith. 

1st Grade: Our Heavenly Father-Introduction to the Holy Trinity through presentations on God the Father, the life of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, God’s plan of salvation and our part in that plan. Acquaints children with Mary, angels, and the saints. Children learn basic prayers.

2nd Grade: Jesus our Life-Preparation for the first reception of the sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion, with the law of God and salvation history as background. The lesson emphasizes God's mercy and love. Covers Creation, the Covenant with Moses, the Ten Commandments, Redemption, Forgiveness of Sins, and the Mass.

During 2nd grade students will also be prepared for the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist.  For more information on this please look under "Sacramental Preparation."
