Preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion is offered to all children in second grade or higher. Children and parents attend the class together (albeit virtually this year due to COVID-19).
Throughout the fall, the focus is on God's love and our choice to love God in return. Children also learn forgiveness, mercy and grace. They learn how to go to Confession so that they are able to participate in the Sacrament in
January. Next, they begin preparing for First Holy Communion, with their lessons focused on understanding the Eucharist, the parts of the Mass, and our participation in it. First Communion will be on Saturday, May 8th at 11am. Children and youth who have missed this preparation process should contact the parish office to either join the 2nd grade class or to receive alternate instruction at their level.
