Do Seton's courses prepare students for receiving the Sacraments?
The Seton religion courses for the 2nd and 7th grade are designed to prepare students for the sacraments of First Penance, First Communion, and Confirmation. All of these courses are governed by Canon Law and have proper Imprimaturs. However, they are not on the US bishops' list of "approved" courses. Our non-religion books also have a great deal of Catholic content, so the entire curriculum for each grade will advance the student's knowledge of the Faith. If you have any further questions about preparing your student to receive the Sacraments, feel free to contact Deacon Gene McGuirk (
