Children preparing to receive the Sacrament of First Communion begin in first grade with a foundational series of lessons to give them a firm start in Faith Formation.  During Fall of second grade, lessons prepare students to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation as the next step towards the Eucharist.  During the Spring of second grade, lessons focus on receive ing the Eucharist for the first time after Easter.  This two-year process begins the children on a life-long faith journey, strongly connected by the Sacraments.
