Is typically celebrated in 2nd grade, but can be any grade - Preparation begins in the spring AFTER First Reconciliation (Confession) and consists of a combination of on-campus gathering, home lessons and holy hours.
Before a child enters preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist, they must complete religious education (Family Formation) or Catholic school for Grade 1(or one full year if older)
STM School children in 2nd grade are automatically enrolled in Sacramental preparation.
Public school families should register for Family Faith - Those children ready to celebrate the sacrament will be contacted about sacramental details.
