2025 Registration Information

Children who have been baptized make their First Communion in 2nd grade, at the age of 7 or 8. To best prepare their hearts to receive the body and blood of Christ, they first celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as the Sacrament of Penance or Confession). 

If your child wants to participate in our Sacramental Prep program but has not been baptized, please contact Debra Ricard to discuss. 

Program Information

We would love to help you and your child prepare for their sacraments. While we are here to help guide you on this journey, this program is designed to be a personal, reflective, and meaningful experience for you and your family. We aim for you to learn TOGETHER, discuss TOGETHER, engage TOGETHER, and deepen your understanding of your relationship with God as a family.
