Reconciliation (Confession) and 1st Eucharist (1st Holy Communion)

Participation in our Sacramental Preparation formation for Reconciliation (Confession), or 1st Eucharist (Holy Communion) is approximately a 2-year process.

1. Is your child ready to be engaged in our Children’s Ministry, which meets on most Sundays (September – May) from 10:30am to 11:45am?

2. Is your child and at least one parent ready to meet periodically on select Wednesdays (September – May) from 6:15pm to 7:45pm?

3. Do you and your child attend Mass every weekend?

If you answered YES to these questions, and you as a parent are ready to accept responsibility for helping your child mature in our Catholic faith, then we encourage you to REGISTER HERE.
