Celebrating Faith and New Beginnings at École Notre Dame High School
With great joy, we celebrate five students from École Notre Dame High School who have completed their Sacraments of Initiation through the Order of Christian Initiation for Teens (OCIT): Kalen, Tennesse, Alexsis, Shannon, and Luc.
Surrounded by their families, teachers, and peers, these students celebrated this meaningful milestone at St. Louis Parish on April 16, with Fr. Rene Realuyo.
OCIT is a faith formation program that supports students in Grades 9–12 as they prepare for Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion—guiding them as they take this important step in their faith journey.
We welcome these students into the full life of the Catholic Church community and pray for their continued spiritual growth. May the Holy Spirit guide and strengthen them as they live out their calling as disciples of Christ.
