First Eucharist Preparation

PREPARATION FOR FIRST RECONCILIATION AND COMMUNION

Beginning in Second Grade and older, students may register for our Sacrament Preparation program, which is our preparation program for First Reconciliation and First Communion. Sacrament Preparation takes place after completing a year of Faith Formation class the year prior to preparation. This is a separate registration from Faith Formation. 
 

To register for Sacrament Preparation:

1. The child must be Baptized in the Catholic faith

2. They must be at least 7 years of age

3. Entering the second grade or higher

4. Completed one full year of Faith Formation or Catholic School Education prior to the Sacrament Preparation year and currently enrolled in Faith Formation at St. Faustina or at a Catholic school

5. A copy of your child’s Baptism certificate is required upon registration

CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS 

This program is for children and teens over the age of 7, who are not baptized or baptized in another faith and wish to join the Catholic church. The program is a minimum of two years of preparation or it could be longer, depending on family commitment or child/teen knowledge.  

During the first year, your child/teen will attend their grade level Faith Formation classes along with twice-a-month classes on Church Traditions, prayers, and Sacred Scripture.

The second year they will attend FF classes and meet 2 times a month.  These classes will help them understand the Catholic faith on a deeper level and prepare them to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation.  The students are evaluated throughout the year and if ready, the student will receive their Sacraments at the Easter Vigil. There is no time set on receiving Sacraments, it is when the child/teen is ready.
