First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion
In second grade, your child will begin preparing to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion. It is required that students attend at least 80% of their religious education classes each semester. Regular attendance at weekly Mass will also help your child fully understand and appreciate these precious sacraments. We’re here to support you and your family throughout this special time of preparation.
ReconciliationIn both day school and PSR children learn why we celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation and are introduced to the celebration of the sacrament by role playing and a practice session in church before the actual sacrament is celebrated. Over the course of two evenings, children – and their parents! – celebrate their First Reconciliation. |

First Holy CommunionFollowing Reconciliation, the students prepare to receive Holy Communion. The celebrations are scheduled at weekend Masses in May. |
