First Communion

First Communion Preparation

It is a joy and a privilege to work with families in preparing their young children for the celebration of the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion (together, First Sacraments).  There is an expectation that the students receive Faith Formation every year, not just the years that they receive sacraments.

To begin the preparation for First Sacraments, the following is required:

• Students must be baptized in the Roman Catholic faith and provide a baptismal certificate prior to the sessions.  (If the child was baptized in another religion, please contact the Faith Formation Office.
• Sacramental Preparation is for students who are to be in 2nd grade to 12th grade.
• Families are to be attending Sunday Mass on a regular basis.
• Students must have successfully completed (by attending 75%) Faith Formation the year prior to preparing for 1st Sacraments.
• Students are to be enrolled and attending the current weekly Faith Formation sessions.
• Students and parent/guardians are required to attend ten additional classes on Saturdays for Sacramental Preparation.
• For non-parish members, there is a material fee.  This fee will be collected at the time of registration.
