First Reconciliation & First Eucharist
After your children have been baptized in the Catholic Church, they continue their growth in the life of faith by receiving other sacraments when they are at the appropriate age. At the age of seven a child can go through the process of preparing for First Reconciliation and then First Communion.
First Holy Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Roman Catholic person’s life. It is the first time that a person receives the Eucharist, by the consuming of consecrated bread and drinking of consecrated wine. Most Catholic children receive their First Holy Communion when they are 7 or 8 years old as this is considered the age of reason.
All programs require that a parent attend the parent orientation session and the preparation sessions with the child.
