Receiving Reconciliation and Eucharist for the First Time
For children entering Second Grade or higher, we offer the preparation to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist (Holy Communion) for the first time. Since our faith builds, children must be enrolled in either a Catholic school* or in a Faith Formation class during their preparation year.
Families of children who are registered at the parish or in our Faith Formation program will be contacted with Sacramental registration information in October.
*If your child attends a catholic school, please contact Stefanie by October 1st so that you we can include you in our correspondance regarding important dates. -

"Dear boys and girls, now you will receive Jesus. Don’t think about anything else. Come to the altar with silence in your hearts. Think about how Jesus comes to your heart, and how he will do the same again and again. Think of your parents, your catechists, your grandparents, your friends. And if you’ve had a fight with someone, forgive them from the heart. Draw close to Jesus...I hope that today is the beginning of many Communions, so that your hearts are always like they are today: celebrating, full of joy, and above all, full of gratitude." -- Pope Francis
