Students customarily receive their First Holy Communion in May of their second grade year, upon the completion of a special two-year program which begins in the fall of their first grade year. The program also prepares them to make their First Confession prior to their First Holy Communion.
Adults who are in need of the sacrament of the Eucharist should contact the Director of Faith Formation, or one of our priests or deacons, for more information on preparing to receive this sacrament.
