First Reconciliation and First Eucharist Sacramental Preparation
First Reconciliation and First Eucharist sacramental preparation program is integrated within the Parish Faith Formation program. It runs Sunday, 9:30pm - 10:25am September through May. This program is designed to guide and prepare our non-Catholic school students to encounter, experience, and receive the profound love and mercy of God in a deeply personal and transformative way.
Program Details:
Dates: Sunday, September 22, 2024 to April 27, 2025
Time: Sunday 9:30AM to 10:25AM
Location: St. Thomas More School Elementary Building
Note: Children attending St. Thomas More Catholic School are exempted from attending Sunday Morning classes as the same content is covered during religion class.
Retreats:
Both our non-Catholic school students and St. Thomas More Catholic School students will complete their immediate preparation by attending a morning retreat before the celebration of their First Reconciliation and their First Communion. These retreats are essential in deepening their understanding and personal connection with God.
