FIRST RECONCILIATION
&
​FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

Sacrament Preparation Information

Preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion typically takes place in 2nd grade. If your child is in 2nd grade they are ready to prepare for these Sacraments. Please register them in our Faith Formation classes, where the curriculum is designed to prepare them to receive these Sacraments.

If your child has already completed 2nd grade but would like to receive the Sacraments you are invited to our family Sacrament prep classes. These meetings will happen once a month in addition to regular religious education classes. During this time your entire family will have the opportunity to learn more about the Sacramental life of the Church. For students in this situation please register for the Faith Formation class of whichever grade level they are in. Then reach out to Mary Buechler for more details about the Sacramental prep program.
