Catch Up on Sacramental Preparation (CUSP)
Helping students and families prepare for the Sacraments—no matter the age or timing.
Program Overview
Many students can get "off-schedule" with celebrating their first Sacraments for any number of reasons. That's where CUSP (Catch Up on Sacramental Preparation) comes in!
This year-long faith formation program is designed for students in Grades 3–12 who need to prepare for one or more Sacraments—Confession, Communion, or Confirmation. But CUSP isn’t just for the student—it’s a journey for the whole family!
Parents meet monthly with group leaders, while students engage in at-home assignments that reinforce their faith and understanding. Periodic interviews throughout the year help support each child’s spiritual development. Students will typically celebrate their Sacraments alongside others in our parish who are preparing at the standard time.
