First Reconciliation and First Communion are two important events that all second-grade students will be preparing for this academic year. Information will be posted as it becomes available. In the meantime, practice the prayers provided in the prayer tab. Celebrating the Sacraments is an important event that helps everyone create a stronger bond with our Father, Jesus Christ.

First Communion Projects
First Communion
Parents, girls must wear a veil and white socks. Additionally, to keep our little ones safe on this very beautiful day, shoes should be flat, and dresses may not have a metal hoop.
On picture day, you are welcomed to bring in items like rosaries, a bible, and gloves. However, on the day of the First Communion, parents are asked to keep these items as students will be very involved with the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, the priest will bless your special items. |
