First Holy Communion preparation

Catechists, assistants, and priests guide parents and students through the preparation for the sacraments.  The usual age for the sacraments is grade 2; 3rd and 4th graders may register if they have not yet received the sacraments.  Please contact Sr. Strength of Martyrs, Director of Faith Formation if you have questions to whether this is the correct program for your children.  If your children were not baptized here at Ss. Peter and Paul Church, a copy of their Baptismal Certificate is required.  All sessions are held in De Smet Hall 6:00 - 7:30pm except where noted.  A more detailed calendar is provided in the Reconciliation/First Eucharist Handbook provided at the orientation on  Oct. 2 at 6:00pm in De Smet Hall.

If your child is in grades 5 and above and is ready to prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion, see Rite of Christian Initiation of Children for more information.
