First Holy Communion
To receive the sacrament of First Holy Communion, Children must be 7 years old and catechized to grade level. This means children must be enrolled in Faith Formation classes or Catholic School prior to the year of the sacrament. 

​Parents will also be required to attend Parent Preps for these sacraments. More information about this will be communicated in August.

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.  To register please follow the button below: 
*please note you need only to fill out this form once to be registered for both 1st Reconciliation & 1st Communion*
​

​Preparations for the Sacrament of Holy Communion 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).  One session is required for each sacrament. Although the parents are ultimately responsible for their child’s preparation, there will be a strong emphasis in their classroom, as well.

​*If your child is not baptized or has not participated in Catholic Religious Education, please refer to the Rite of Christian Initiation.
Registration for First Sacraments will take place the fall.   A copy of baptism certificate will be required at that time.
