First Reconciliation for young
children is normally held in the month of January, typically on a
Saturday morning. This is targeted to usually occur at the
second grade level.
Older children, teens, and adults who are participating in R.C.I.C.,
R.C.I.T., or R.C.I.A., and who have previously been baptized,
usually receive First Reconciliation in the weeks prior to the
celebration of their Reception into the Church and First
Eucharist. |

Preparation for First
Reconciliation and First Eucharist for young children occur over a
two year period, at the first and second grade levels.
Specifically, sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation
occurs in the fall semester of the 2nd grade level. However,
children must be registered and attend C.C.E. in their 1st grade
year in order to proceed to 2nd grade sacramental preparation.
First Reconciliation preparation classes occur during each child's
normal C.C.E. class period (Weds. 6:15 - 7:30 p.m., Sun. 9:15 -
10:30 a.m. or 10:45 - 12:00 a.m.). The preparation sessions
consist of several classes, with 3 sessions to include parents.
The joint parent-child sessions usually occur in late October and
early November. Monitor your child's C.C.E..calendar and watch
the parish bulletin and website to stay abreast of these REQUIRED
sessions.
Older children, teens, and adults who are participating in R.C.I.C.,
R.C.I.T., or R.C.I.A., receive their sacramental preparation as a
part of their overall formation process. |
