Sacramental Information
Preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist
The year a child prepares for their 1st reconciliation is a beautiful and faith-forming year for the entire family. A child receives these first sacraments after the family and the faith formation leaders have discerned that there is a sacramental readiness. Receiving First Reconciliation and First Eucharist should be when a child is spiritually ready; this could be 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or even 5th grade. Engaging in the year of sacramental preparation should be carefully considered, especially if there are other impactful family events happening that year. We truly hope that you reach out to us with any questions or concerns, and remember that we are blessed to be a part of your child’s religious formation. We pray that both our staff and families remain ever present to the movement and guidance of the Holy Spirit, bringing your children closer to Christ through these blessed sacraments.
Policies
All children who are in their second consecutive year of faith formation can prepare for the sacraments of 1st Reconciliation and 1st Communion. Per our guidelines, children must receive their First Reconciliation PRIOR to receiving First Communion, and attend all Sacramental meetings. The discernment process for each sacrament takes place throughout the ENTIRE year, even after registration.
