We believe that preparing children for Reconciliation and Eucharist is a wonderful opportunity for families. The early years of Faith Formation are formative for the whole family and provide a beautiful opportunity to reflect on how God has been present in their lives and to encounter Him in a meaningful way. We try to meet families where they are and help each family move forward on their faith journey. Preparation for First Reconciliation and Eucharist is a 2 year program, First Communion I (FCI) and First Communion II (FCII). All students must attend FCI prior to moving on to FCII, regardless of grade. The exception being children that attend catholic school, they only need attend FCII.
