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.
