Preparation for the sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation is part of the weekly religious formation program at the second and eighth grade levels. The preparation is designed to support families in preparing their children as they journey toward full initiation into the Catholic Church.
First Reconciliation and First Eucharist Children who are in Second Grade in the Fall of 2026 are invited to prepare for and celebrate the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Preparation will be held during second grade class sessions throughout the school year.
Children are expected to attend all classes and two retreat days (with a parent).
One parent is expected to attend an information session, the two retreat days, and two Family of Faith GATHER nights or service trips with your child. More information about GATHER events and service trips can be found in the Parish bulletin.
