First Communion & First Reconciliation

Here at St. Michael's First Communion and First Reconciliation are typically done with children in the 2nd grade enrolled at Saint Michael School, in the CCD program, or approved Home Schooling program.

To enroll your child in the First Communion program, please fill out the registration form and return to the Parish Office by September 26, 2008.

First Communion Registration Form

Catechesis is provided in religion classes, but the immediate preparation of the child for these sacraments is conducted by the parents in the home. Informational sessions are held to assist parents in their responsibility to prepare their children for the reception of the Eucharist and Reconciliation.

It is Diocesan policy that First Penance be received before First Communion. First Communion can then be received by the child at any time during the year, after the proper preparations. The parish group First Communion is held in late Spring for all children who have been prepared during the year.
