FIRST RECONCILIATION / FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION, 2023-24
Greetings Parents and Guardians,
We are so happy that you have decided to register your child to prepare for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion.
Our program will begin on September 26. The preparation is a combination of home preparation and sessions in the church. The home preparation for each sacrament will have its own book that your child will have at home to complete with you there. For the in-person meetings there will be 3 meetings for First Reconciliation and 3 meetings for First Communion. These meetings will take place in the church at 7 PM and last a maximum of one hour. Catechists will guide your children in discussion of videos from the program ‘Blessed”. Parents are not required to be with their child during these meetings but after dropping them off to make sure they return no later than 8 PM to bring them home.
