Sacramental Preparation
Tri-County Catholics offers Adaptive Material for Individuals with Special Needs or Autism for the Sacraments of First Eucharist, First Reconciliation and Confirmation.

Parish School Religion
Tri-County Catholics can use a textbook series called Finding God, which includes an Adaptive Program so that children with special needs can participate in a classroom setting or at home. 7-8th grade material is available for those that wish to participate in a home study setting.

 For more information and to see materials and discuss what options would be best for your family please contact Ann Whyle in the St. John Parish Office.
