First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation

Sacramental Preparation is a one year process. A child may begin the process as early as second grade (7 years old). Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion is comprised of learning about our Catholic faith in our Sunday program, using workbooks about the sacraments and reviewing with their parent/guardians at home including two Parent and child sacramental workshops during the year. Registration opens in the summer of each year and classes begin in September.  First Reconciliation will take place around early December and First Holy Communion around early May.

To register, please do so, online with your Parish Soft login.  If you are new to the area, please contact Joyce at 434-792-9456.

Children preparing for First Reconciliation and First Communion need to be registered and participate in Faith Formation. Please see “Faith Formation” for more information.
