First Communion Registration

Your child is ready for First Communion! How exciting! 

First Communion Preparation is a two year process: children typically begin in first grade and receive their sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion in the spring of their second grade year.

Sacramental preparation is a serious part of catechesis, and heavily depends on parental involvement: after all, you are your child's first and primary catechist. We switched over the preparation process in the 2020-2021 academic year. If your child is a rising 2nd grader who has not completed their first year of sacramental preparation, please contact Mary.

First Communion students are expected to attend all classes, barring emergencies and illness, as well as all the workshops and retreats. There is a MANDATORY First Communion Parent Meeting on June 24 at 7pm, July 15 at 7pm, OR August 12 at 7pm (all in Deacon's Hall). Please attend. We will cover everything you will need to know about First Communion preparation. The Parent Packet is below. Parents are responsible for making sure their children complete the requirements. Classes begin Sunday, August 29.

The cost of First Communion Faith Formation is $60.

Please read the form closely before filling it out!
