FIRST RECONCILIATION CALENDAR 2024 - 2025
We welcome children preparing for their First Reconciliation! It is through your family and within your family that your child will come to understand the sacrament of Reconciliation and the immensity of God’s love and forgiveness. Therefore, preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist in our parish takes the form of family instruction in addition to the monthly family faith formation sessions known as LIFT (Click for more information on LIFT).
In accordance with diocesan guidelines, there is a two year preparation period for the reception of sacraments. This means that children receiving First Reconciliation and First Eucharist must be enrolled in LIFT during first grade so that they are ready to prepare for and receive the two sacraments the following year in second grade.
Note: If your child is older and has not received First Eucharist, please go to our OCIA for Children page for more information.
EXPECTATIONS FOR RECEIVING FIRST RECONCILATION AT HOLY EUCHARIST:
- Attendance at all preparation sessions in addition to LIFT sessions is required.
- If a prep session is missed, assignments will need to be completed and a meeting with the Director of Faith Formation may be necessary. Missing a session could hinder your child’s advancement in the program.
