First Communion

First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion

The Archdiocese requires that children preparing for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion attend  Foundational Preparation for two years, beginning in the first grade. Children and parents also participate in Sacramental Formation during the second year. Children who turn 7 by September 1, 2012 and have completed first grade Formational Religious Education may begin to prepare to celebrate the two sacraments in the spring of 2013.
