Typically, formation for First Holy Communion and Reconciliation begins once a child has reached the age of 7 (or 1st grade).  As is the norm in this diocese, a year of formation and a year of preparation is required.  During the year of preparation, families will participate in a parent taught and catechist supported program at the church.

First Reconciliation will typically occur during the Advent Penance Service or anytime prior to the child's First Holy Communion.

First Holy Communion will typically occur on the first Sunday in May.  The Mass will be offered bi-lingually or as 2 Mass' depending on class size.
