First Reconciliation and Eucharist

A child who has reached the age of reason (7 years old) and is in the 2nd grade may be eligible for preparation for First Reconciliation and Eucharist. This begins with a mandatory informational meeting for parent and child. At this time, parents enroll their child and receive materials for home preparation. First Reconciliation meetings begin in the Fall. First Eucharist meetings begin in January. Parents are the primary educators and are expected to prepare their child at home. In addition, all candidates must be enrolled in our parish CCE program or attend a Catholic school, and present proof of baptism.  For more information please call Carolina Sayago in the Office of Children and Youth Formation at 281-497-6665.
