The Parish of St. Stephen the Martyr prepares children in Grade 2 to receive two very special sacraments during the second year of study. Children receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the celebration of God's love and mercy as well as the sacrament of First Eucharist. Children must have completed year one of catechesis to be enrolled in the sacramental program.

The THEME for this year is Jesus nourishes us, and strengthens God’s life  and grace within us.

The OBJECTIVE for study this year is to present Jesus as the model for Christian living, and to introduce the sacraments of Baptism, Penance and Eucharist.
