Sacramental Preparation

The Archdiocese of Denver has instituted the Restored Order (RO) of sacraments for children. For children who have begun and continued their sacramental preparation within the RO tradition, that means that after baptism they prepare for the sacrament of reconciliation in second grade and the sacraments of confirmation and first Eucharist in third grade. Children who began sacramental preparation in another archdiocese outside of RO but now live in Denver will enroll in classes specially designed to complete their preparation in the order of Baptism, Reconciliation, Confirmation, and First Eucharist. 

Loyola's Religious Education staff members are available to answer questions about RO and help you understand what sacramental preparation will look like specifically for your child or children.
