First Reconciliation and First Communion
First Sacraments preparation is designed in partnership with parents to prepare children to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion for the first time. This preparation is open to all children who 1) have been baptized and are in second grade or above, 2) have attended faith formation at a parish or Catholic school last year, and 3) are currently attending faith formation at a parish or Catholic school.
Program Components 
Weekly at-home curriculum that parents/guardians lead their children through at home. Encounter With Christ curriculum, pacing guide, and weekly support is provided.   Two in-person retreats that parents attend with their children; one before Reconciliation and one before Communion. Retreats include prayer, talks, crafts, & activities. Childcare is not available, but siblings are welcome.   We extend a special invitation to our second grade Catholic School families to join us for Family Formation. Our special hands-on class and family home lessons compliments a Catholic school curriculum.
