Second grade preparation

First Communion preparation is for children in second grade who have completed a year of religious education. First Reconciliation is celebrated in February. First Communion is celebrated at the 11:30am Mass on the first Sunday of May.

Register by September 15. The $45 fee covers the book and retreat morning, and is waived on request. It should never be a reason for a child to stay home.
