About First Sacraments

We support families in preparing their children in 2nd grade and older to celebrate their First Reconciliation and First Communion.

 

For the 2023-2024 school year, we are offering a comprehensive program called Signs of Grace that engages parents and children to grow in their faith as a family. In a classroom setting, parents and children will meet TOGETHER, in person each Sunday to prepare their children for both sacraments. Signs of Grace has consistently been praised by both parish and school families, who have gained a deeper understanding of the sacraments while spending personal time together.

 

This program also offers two family retreats, and practice sessions for each sacrament. First Reconciliation is completed in December and First Communion in May.

 

Who can participate?

Families who wish to participate in First Sacraments should be practicing Catholics (regularly attend Sunday Mass). Children should be in 2nd grade or older and have received the Sacrament of Baptism.
