Sacrament PREPARATION First Communion & reconciliation

The Sacraments of first reconciliation and first communion are prepared for in a single program for elementary-aged* children in 2nd grade and higher.  This program integrates a CGS-style approach to help children meditate on our faith and how it is expressed in the Sacraments. We also use the guidebooks, "Renewed by Jesus," and "Receiving Jesus," from Ascension Press.

Children and their parents will meet during the Sunday Family of Faith sessions, plus a few times on our own throughout the school year, including a retreat. 

Congratulations to this year's group on receiving their First Communion! More information about the 2025-26 school year is coming soon!

*Please contact us if you have an older child/teen who needs these sacraments.

The next group will begin Wednesday night sessions in September 2025.

Any students in grades 10 and up who want to prepare for being Confirmed should begin with coming to the High School formation sessions.  From there we will get you more information on Confirmation prep.  Preparing for the Sacrament will entail some sessions that are in addition to the regular Wednesday night faith formation.
