Preparation for First Holy Communion is normally a two year process. Students must have attended one full year prior to the reception of the sacraments.





• The children that attended Catechism or Catholic School the previous year, and are in the 3^rd grade or above are eligible for 1^st Communion. 

• Catholic school children will also need to participate in our First Eucharist retreats and in some cases attend our Sacrament Classes. 



• Parent sessions are mandatory and failure to attend these sessions may result in the postponement of the student’s reception of the Sacrament.

• 4^th – High School students who wish to receive the Sacraments need to attend their regular Religion classes plus additional classes to prepare for First Eucharist and Reconciliation.

• The additional sacrament classes will begin in
