The Catholic Church affirms that all individuals are children of God and are called to grow in knowledge and understanding regardless of age, special circumstances or needs. This includes the reception of the sacraments. Therefore, all are invited to the Table of the Lord and are encouraged to receive the Sacraments of the Church. If you, a child or family member want more information about preparing and receiving Baptism, Holy Communion or Confirmation please call the OLV Religious Education Office at 575-8132.
Please note if your student needs any accommadation for wheelchair, walkers or other aides we will be glad to make that a priorty.
