First Communion and First Reconciliation Sacraments are typically celebrated in 2nd grade but can be celebrated by older students. Students begin this process in the Fall. Religious Education (in school or in religious education classes) is required to be in sacramental preparation. Fall semester consists of a parent meeting, reconciliation centers, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. In the Spring semester, we also have a parent meeting, eucharist centers, and the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

Registration is ON HOLD for the 2026-2027 year. Deadline for registering is TBD

Note:  We will be using a the same registration system as last year (25/26) called School Systems. This registration system is used for RE and Sacramental Prep Registration. If you are only signing up for Sacramental Prep Registration please click only that session option when registering. If you are signing up your child for both RE and Sacramental Prep click both session options when registering. New Families will have to create a new account when registering for this year. Scroll down on the website to create a new account. Returning families will use the same account as before.
