SACRAMENTS

1ST RECONCILIATION & 1ST COMMUNION

Registration + Requirements

     This is the year your child will prepare to experience God’s love and forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and to receive Jesus in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is the first step in this sacramental journey. Your child must be 7 years old and catechized to grade level. This means children must be enrolled in Faith Formation class or Catholic school at least one full year prior to the year of the sacraments. 
​      In addition to being enrolled in Faith Formation Classes or a Catholic School, your child must be registered to receive the Sacrament. The information asked is what we need to have in order to record the sacrament and to contact you with information regarding these sacraments. 

​Preparations for the Sacrament of Holy Communion 
Preparation for the Sacrament is taught primarily by the Parents/Guardians. Parents/Guardians are required to participate in the sacramental classes offered in order to prepare their child(ren) for Holy Communion (Eucharist) and 1st Reconciliation. 6 hours of classes (completed in two 3 hour sessions) are required for each sacrament. You will attend a total of 4 sessions. Although the parents are ultimately responsible for their child’s preparation, there will be a strong emphasis in their classroom as well. 


1st Reconciliation Dates/ 1st Communion Dates:
TBD
