For those students who are enrolled in one of our parish schools (St. Cecilia School or St. Mary School), preparation for these sacraments will take place in the 2nd grade religion class during their normal school day.
For students not enrolled at one of our parish schools, preparation for these sacraments take place within our Family of Faith program. Family of Faith consists of 1 monthly session (for both student AND parent) on the 2nd Sunday of the month from September to April.
In addition to the preparation classes as highlighted above, additional requirements for ALL families (both school and Family of Faith) include two parent meetings (one in the fall, one in the spring), and one retreat/rehearsal for First Communion. Most of these events are combined with both St. Mary & St. Cecilia families. Please see the calendar for detailed dates and info for this year's sacramental preparation process.
Inquiries regarding First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion should be directed to our Director of Catechesis and Evangelization, Haley Metzger.
