Classes begin each Fall and run for one year. Please check back in late summer for registration.
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.
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 May 7th. 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.
