Spiritual Formation

Spiritual Formation will guide your child to recognize the work of God in his life and encourage a close and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

This formation occurs in a spiritual environment that encourages the life of grace through daily prayer and practice of virtues, opportunities for sacraments, and theology classes that study the fullness of the Catholic faith in all its richness.

Sacramental Preparation

Second Grade First Communion

At Everest Academy, our second-grade students are guided through a thoughtful and engaging sacramental preparation process. By January, they will be ready to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, understanding the importance of God’s forgiveness and mercy. As the school year progresses, students will continue their faith journey, deepening their relationship with Christ in preparation for their First Holy Communion, which they will be ready to receive in May at Our Mother of Good Counsel. This special time helps nurture their spiritual growth and strengthens their understanding of the Eucharist.

Eighth Grade Confirmation

At Everest Academy, our eighth-grade students engage in a comprehensive preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation, the culmination of nine years of spiritual formation. Throughout their journey at Everest, they have grown in their knowledge of the Catholic faith and deepened their personal relationship with Christ. As they prepare to receive Confirmation in the spring, they reflect on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and their call to be active disciples. This sacrament strengthens them with grace and courage, equipping them to live out their faith boldly in the world and continue their lifelong journey of Christian leadership.
