Celebrating the Sacraments in 2024
Second grade and eighth grade are exciting years for a Catholic student. Second graders receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation (aka Confession) and Holy Eucharist for the first time. Eighth graders are welcomed into full communion with the Catholic Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. Time spent in catechesis and prayer is necessary for preparing for such pivotal sacraments in the life of our children. Therefore, please enroll your children in a CCD program as soon as possible. Our program is offered at South Hills Catholic Academy.

About Our Program
Saint Paul of the Cross Parish has partnered with South Hills Catholic Academy to provide an engaging Faith Formation program for our students. Parish volunteers work in collaboration with SHCA teachers to serve students in grades K-8. They use the Spirit of Truth curriculum by Sophia Institute, a program designed by Catholic master teachers, to deliver students a meaningful encounter with our faith.
We offer two catechetical options, allowing you to choose the method that works best for you and your family.
