St. William of York's Religious Education program is an 8-year program. We are NOT a sacraments program. Each year the children build upon what they have learned from the year before.  This program prepares them to receive the sacraments. In 2^nd grade, students receive First Penance and First Holy Communion. However, 1^st grade is required to layout a good foundation for 2^nd grade. Contact the RE office on how to register for this process.
