Sacrament Preparation Children and Youth

Sacrament Preparation and Celebration

Students prepare for their First Reconciliation (Confession) prior to receiving First Eucharist (Communion) and Confirmation when they turn 7 (the age of reasoning). Students are required to complete two years in religious education classes before they are prepared for these sacraments.  We offer Sacrament Prep 1 and Sacrament Prep 2 on Mondays from 4:15-5:30 pm.

THE BISHOP DETERMINES THE DATE AND TIME OF 1ST COMMUNION FOR EACH PARISH.
