In order to prepare for First Holy Communion in the Spring, children must first successfully prepare for and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

The immediate preparation for the celebration of the Sacrament of First Reconciliation and the Sacrament of Holy Communion is done within the family home, with ongoing support from the parish staff. Parents of second graders (and older children who have not received the Sacrament) must attend an informational meeting that will assist them in preparing their children for First Sacraments. Parent Orientation meetings are held in the Fall. Textbooks and other required materials will be provided at this meeting.

According to Archdiocesan guidelines, children preparing to celebrate their First Reconciliation must be enrolled in either a Catholic school or a Catholic parish religious education program both during the year of preparation as well as the year immediately prior to preparation. In order to prepare for First Holy Communion in the Spring, children must first successfully prepare for and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Registration closes November 1, 2022.
