Registration for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist for the Spring of 2024 will open after our Family Faith Formation program begins on September 18, 2023.
Preparation for First Reconciliation will begin in January, and the sacrament will be celebrated in March. Preparation for First Eucharist will begin in March, and the sacrament will be celebrated in May.
Please Note: Candidates for First Penance and First Eucharist must have participated in regular religious education or attend Catholic School for the year preceding enrollment for preparation for First Eucharist. (In other words, these children were part of a formal first grade faith formation experience.)
Confirmation Preparation throughout the Diocese takes place over the course of two years and begins no earlier than 8th grade. In order to begin Confirmation preparation, students must have been enrolled in Faith Formation the previous year. We call this Year 0, which typically happens during 7th grade. Students in Year 0 will meet during Family Faith sessions with their peers to cover a variety of topics, laying a foundation for a deeper exploration of their faith beginning in Year 1.
