Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist is done through home study, parent/child learning stations, and retreat experiences. Parents take the primary role as catechist in preparing their children to receive these sacraments. The parish supports parents in their role as catechist by providing them with the necessary materials (a parent book and a learning book for the child) as well as learning stations and a parent-planned retreat prior to the celebration of each of these sacraments. 
First Reconciliation is celebrated in the winter and First Communion is celebrated in the spring.

An informational mailing is sent out in August to all households who have a second grader. This mailing contains the registration form and the calendar.  If you do not receive the mailing, please contact the church office.
