FIRST RECONCILIATION AND FIRST COMMUNION

Preparation for these sacraments occurs on three levels; family, school and parish. The schools play an invaluable role in helping the parish prepare for these celebrations. However, they are celebrations of the Parish community, and as such, all inquiries and communication about these sacraments are managed by the parish.
​There is a parent meeting designed to assist parents to help their children prepare for the celebration of Reconciliation and Eucharist.  Parents are requested to provide proof of Baptism for their children and, in some cases, pastoral intervention is required when there are obstacles to full communion with the Catholic Church. Parents are asked to work with their children to help them prepare for these sacraments
It is very important that all parents who wish these children to receive the sacraments make the effort to attend Sunday Mass regularly with their children as part of the preparation process and beyond. As a community, we are most happy to assist families in their preparation for these sacraments.
Questions concerning the reception of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist by children may be directed toward one of the priests who will assist you in the process.
For the times of the Sacrament of Reconciliation for those who have previously received this sacrament, please consult our Reconciliation times.

If your child does not attend Catholic School, please contact the parish office so we can assist you.  The Catechetical Correspondence Courses from the Diocese of Hamilton may be right for you.  For more information on the Correspondence Courses, contact the Parish Office at (950) 878-6535.
