The most Holy Eucharist is the sacrament in which Christ the Lord Himself is contained, offered, and received and by which the Church constantly lives and grows.

First Reconciliation (Confession) and First Eucharist (Holy Communion)

The celebration of First Reconciliation and First Communion occur during the second grade year for students who have been baptized. Older students who have not received either of these sacraments are eligible if they have been baptized.

Sacramental preparation is the responsibility of the parent. To aid you in this process, a parent orientation meeting and three sacramental preparation classes will be presented for each sacrament. Refer to the church calendar for the scheduled times and dates. The parent(s) or an approved designated adult and the child must attend these classes. Older candidates will also be required to complete the same take-home materials, the textbook, with a parent/approved adult. These materials are designed to help everyone prepare to receive each sacrament.


 IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Parents and guardians of Sacramental candidates (First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation) will receive reminder notices for upcoming events. These reminders will be sent home with the students and will be posted in the Sunday Church Bulletin. Note: All Sacramental preparation classes missed must be made up. No more than one sacramental class may be missed to remain in this year’s program.
