First Reconciliation and 

First Communion

FIRST RECONCILIATION

Baptized Catholics over the age of seven should contact the Office of Faith Formation for information about receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Children and their parents participate in the Advent Reconciliation Service at our Parish.  Registration for preparation classes begins in September.

Parents attend classes on Sunday afternoons in November from 2 - 4 pm.  Parents are also asked to remain for an extra 30 minutes on ONE of those four Sundays for the rubrics of the Sacrament. 

FIRST COMMUNION

Baptized Catholics over the age of seven should contact the Office of Faith Formation for information about receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Preparation is conducted in a classroom setting for children in the second grade who have reached seven (7) years of age, at the beginning of the calendar year.
A period of instruction is held about a month before the sacrament is received. 
Both the child and their adult parent/guardian are provided with instruction to prepare for the first reception of this Sacrament giving us sacramental grace in the reception of the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ.
Preparation for child and Parent/Adult will be from 2 - 4 pm on Sundays in January 2021.
