The sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion are offered in the 2nd grade.
Please be aware - It is a Diocesan requirement that all children preparing to receive a sacrament need to be in either a Religious Education program or a Catholic school for two years prior to the sacrament. For First Communion, that means your child needs to receive Religious Educaiton beginning in first grade.

The parent meeting for this sacrament will be virtual, and began with a video in google classroom. Please contact me for the link to the google classroom for the video and all the papers required. More information will be posted here as it becomes available, but if you are a parishioner who does not attend the school or have your child in PREP please be sure to email Karen Yasik ahead of time so that she can have you in the meeting invite! Here are some resources to help you with this sacrament -
The dates/timing for this sacrament are in flux due to the personal nature of the sacrament. Privately telling your sins to a priest from 6' apart doesn't really work. We will let you know how this will be handled as soon as we have an answer!
