FAITH FORMATION
First Holy Communion
Sacrament Preparation for First Communion is a two year process.
First communion is celebrated after the completion of two consecutive years participation in religious education classes.
If the child completed their 1st year at another parish, a letter acknowledging participation must be submitted.
Required Document: Original Baptism Certificate
If the child is in 4th grade or above, parents and child must participate in several Saturday sessions during the year to ensure a fundamental knowledge of the basics of our faith.
The role of parents in forming Christian values in their children is irreplaceable.
We are partners with parents in the preparation of the children for first Reconciliation and first Eucharist.
Parents of children in preparation for First Communion therefore must participate:
- in workshops to update their understanding of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.
- in preparing their child at home with materials that are explained at the workshop
- in parent-child retreat days.
