Sacrament Resources

All baptized children from grade three and up are eligible to make their first Reconciliation (Confession) and receive their first Holy Communion after completing two consecutive years of Catechetical instruction.

Generally, students make their First Confession in the Fall and receive their First Communion in the Spring. Students may have the option to receive their First Communion on a date other than the scheduled one for the entire group. Dates for First Reconciliation and First Communion will be communicated well in advance.

Parents of students in grades two and three are encouraged to use the resources on this page to help prepare their child at home.
