Children usually make their First Confession and First Communion in second grade. All students (public, private, parochial and homeschoolers) will attend weekly classes on Tuesday evenings during September and the beginning of October to prepare for First Confession and classes on Tuesday evenings during Lent (March & April) to prepare for First Holy Communion. Students will also attend a First Communion retreat in April on a Saturday morning.

Registration will open July 1, 2024 and close on Aug 23. You will need to upload a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate to complete the registration process. You may get this by calling the church where your child was baptized.

The cost to enroll in First Communion preparation is $45. You may pay online or Venmo by using the button below and noting “First Communion” on the payment. Or drop a clearly marked envelope with the fee in the weekend collection.

If you are a registered parishioner at another parish, Canon Law requires that you you receive written permission from your pastor to receive First Communion outside of your parish. If you need help with this, please call our office.
