Preparing to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion is a minimum two year program:
Year One (typically but not limited to 1st grade) – Religious Education classes or Catholic School or previous parish or Diocese of Colorado Springs approved program.
Year Two (typically but not limited to 2nd grade) – Religious Education classes, Sacrament Preparation, and celebration of these sacraments.
Families with children entering 2nd – 5th grade in the fall of 2022, who completed Religious Education during the 2020-2021 school year, will register for and participate in Religious Education AND Sacrament Preparation for the 2022-2023 school year to prepare to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion in 2022-2023.
Families with children entering 2nd – 5th grade in the fall of 2021, who did NOT complete Religious Education during the 2020-2021 school year, will register for and participate in RE in 2022-2023, then, register for and participate in Religious Education AND Sacrament Preparation in 2023-2024, to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion in 2023-2024.
Sacrament Preparation classes will be at a separate time from, and in addition to, Religious Education classes to allow families to truly engage in this special year without missing out on regular formation.
Registration for 2022-2023 Sacrament Prep Classes is Closed. Registration for 2023-2024 will open late summer-early fall of 2023.
