First Reconciliation & Eucharist
Our Sacramental Preparation Program prepares second graders and older for their First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Children must have been enrolled either in a Catholic school or in our ongoing Sunday Catechetical Program with consistant attendance last year, in order to participate in our Sacramental Preparation Process.
It is expected that parents enroll their children in the First Grade program prior to their participation in Second grade Sacramental Preparation.
Weekly Mass attendance is required and children are allowed only three excused absences. The preparation for these sacraments is in addition to enrollment in Ongoing Faith Formation ( if you are not attending a Catholic school). Parent participation is required. First Reconciliation is celebrated in December, First Eucharist is May.
Those enrolled in the Parish School or Catechetics last year have been contacted to complete a registration interview. If you have recently moved into the parish and your child was enrolled in faith formation at another parish last year, call the Front Office to set up a registration interview. Please bring a letter from your previous parish indicating your child's attendance last year.
