The Catechism program aims to help participating children, young people, and adults develop a personal relationship with Christ, the head and heart of the Church, by drawing closer to and understanding the Catholic faith, cultivating a life of piety, and fostering values formation. This is all done with the goal of initiating them into the fullness of Christian life and the reception of the sacraments of the Eucharist and Confirmation. To achieve this, we have a team of trained and dedicated catechists who use resources and activities that make learning fun and effective.

At what age can one receive the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation?

By order of the Archdiocese of Mexico, as of August 2018, the minimum age to receive First Communion is 9 years old and with two years of preparation.

For Confirmation, the minimum age is 12 years with three years of preparation.
