Adult Classes
Classes can be arranged for any adult interested in receiving the sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, Penance and/or Confirmation. Simply stop in to register or call 781 961-5009. 
Sacraments 
The Sacraments of Penance and Eucharist are traditionally celebrated after a two-year preparation period.   This is normally our grade one & grade two classes.   In the fall, we also offer a Sacraments Class during our regularly scheduled Sunday classes for students in grade two or three who need Penance and First Eucharist.   We also have additional preparation in place for older students who desire these sacraments. We will provide further information upon registration.

In 2024 for our returning Grade 11 students. Confirmation preparation began last year in grade 10 and continues through the celebration of Confirmation on Sunday December 8^th at 2pm.   Specific Confirmation information can be obtained further in this Newsletter.  
 
According to the new guidelines from the Archdiocese of Boston we will be registering students in grades 9 & 10 to prepare them for the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Spring of 2025. We will also be registering students in grade 11 (who did not attend classes last year) to prepare them for Confirmation in the Spring of 2025.
 
All those who register for the Spring 2025 Confirmation will also be registered to attend our retreat on Saturday November 2, 2024 from10 am to 5:00 pm in our Religious Education Center and participate in our Service Project.   (see below).
 
Catholic High School
Catholic High School students can register for Confirmation preparation in grades 9, 10 or 11. The day and time of classes is listed on the first page.  We will inform students about service projects and retreat information upon registration.  Confirmation 2024
The date for Confirmation has been scheduled for Sunday December 8, 2024, at2 pm  in our Church for our returning Grade 11 students. We ask all our Confirmation students to give some thought over the summer to choosing a sponsor.  A sponsor is a baptized, confirmed practicing Catholic who will be a good mentor for you in your Christian journey.  

All Confirmation candidates will also be asked to participate in a service project for the Randoph Friendly Food Pantry.  Our retreat day has been tentatively scheduled for Saturday November 2  from 10 am to 5:00 pm in our Religious Education Center.   We ask that all Confirmation Candidates put this date on their calendars.   More detailed information will be available during registration.  
 Baptismal Certificates
Baptismal certificates are required for all Kindergarten students as well as new registrations.  If you have a student enrolled in our program and have not yet brought in a Baptismal certificate, please do so upon registration so that we are able to update records.  This is especially important if you have students in a Sacrament grade.  A Baptismal certificate is required for the reception of any Sacrament.  Obtaining a Baptismal certificate is not necessary if your student was baptized at St. Mary Church.   To obtain a Baptismal certificate from another Parish, simply call the office of the church where your student was baptized and ask them to send a copy to your home address, email a copy or fax a copy to our office at 781- 961-5055. 
 
FYI
If the class times offered cause a scheduling conflict for your family, please bring it to our attention when you come to register your student. Upon registration, each family will be asked to fill out or update a student information sheet.                                         
No student can attend a class without a completed or updated information sheet.
