REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR FIRST RECONCILIATION/FIRST EUCHARIST
Please note that First Reconciliation/First Eucharist is a SEPARATE registration form from PreK-Gr 5 Faith Formation for all Second Grade students and older students who are eligible to receive in May, 2025.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Confession, is one of the Sacraments of Healing—the ways in which our sins are forgiven. First Reconciliation is received prior to receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
The Eucharist is the greatest of the Sacraments of Initiation, the “Source and Summit of the Christian life.” In Holy Communion, we receive the Real Presence of Jesus under the appearance of bread and wine. Preparations for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist are coordinated through our Faith Formation Program, whether your child attends public or Catholic school.
- The Sacrament of First Reconciliation: March 15, 2025
The Sacrament of First Reconciliation will be celebrated on ONE date: Saturday, March 15 at 11am in the Church. ALL CHILDREN will receive First Reconciliation on this date. - The Sacrament of First Eucharist: May 3, 2025 OR May 10, 2025
We are offering two dates from which to choose for your child to receive the Sacrament of First Eucharist. Please select ONE date – either May 3 OR May 10. Click below to Register Online or download a Paper Registration and return to Janet Mitchell.
