Parish School of Religion: First Communion

home > parish schoool of religion > first communion

Preparation

Children are enrolled in and regularly attend Grade One religion classes before they are placed in First Penance and First Communion Classes in Grade Two. This sacrament is received in late April or early May each year. Catechists will do some preparation with the children for this sacrament. The parents are expected to help prepare their child for this most important sacrament. The children will participate in a Workshop, and there are Parent Meetings to help parents prepare their child for First Communion.

Workshop

A First Communion Workshop is held each year for parents and children receiving their First Communion. A parent must be present with each child. Parents and children are expected to attend one of these workshops.
