The sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion are offered in the 2nd grade.
Please be aware - It is a Diocesan requirement that all children preparing to receive a sacrament need to be in either a Religious Education program or a Catholic school for two years prior to the sacrament. For First Communion, that means your child needs to receive Religious Educaiton beginning in first grade.

The parent meeting for this sacrament will be virtual, and began with a video in google classroom. Please contact me for the link to the google classroom for the video and all the papers required. More information will be posted here as it becomes available, but if you are a parishioner who does not attend the school or have your child in PREP please be sure to email Karen Yasik ahead of time so that she can have you in the meeting invite! Here are some resources to help you with this sacrament -
First Reconciliation will be held on Saturday, February 27th from 10:30-11:30AM. Please use the signup genius for your time slot so that social distancing can be maintained. It will be published following our two virtual meetings.
First Communion Dates: due to changes from covid and the need to social distance, we will be holding four celebrations rather than two. Each celebration will have a signup genius for the date and time.
While we ordinarily hold rehearsals for the sacraments, due to COVID we will be bringing you individually to the altar. Mrs. Yasik will interview all children prior to the sacrament and will go into classrooms to review hand, etc. All parents should be prepared to work at home with their children on the First Communion retreat materials and the workbook in preparation for the sacrament.
