                 First Communion & First Reconciliation

                 Parents are  the first teachers of their children in the faith. The participation, example and support of

                 parents is absolutely essential to the faith development of children. By offering assistance in the

                 preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist our parish community seeks

                 to support parents and offer them the context of a loving community of faith in which to nurture their

                 child's faith life. Our parish Catholic schools also play an important role in this preparation. Our Grade

                 2 teachers offer excellent catechesis (instruction) on the Sacraments throughout the entire program.
