To be eligible to prepare for and receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion a child must be at least 7 years of age and/or entering 2nd grade as of September 2025.

Preparing to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion is typically a two year program:  

Year One (approximately 1st grade) – Religious Education classes or Catholic School or previous parish or Diocese of Colorado Springs approved program.

Year Two (2nd grade or higher) – Religious Education classes, Sacrament Preparation, and celebration of these sacraments.

Families with children entering 2nd – 5th grade in the fall of 2025, who completed Religious Education during the 2023-2024 school year, will register for and participate in Religious Education AND Sacrament Preparation for the 2025-2026 school year to prepare to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion in 2025-2026. 

Families with children entering 2nd – 5th grade in the fall of 2025, who did NOT complete Religious Education during the 2023-2024 school year, will register for and participate in RE in 2025-2026, then, register for and participate in Religious Education AND Sacrament Preparation in 2026-2027, to celebrate First Reconciliation and First Communion in 2027-2028.

Sacrament Preparation classes are at a separate time from, and in addition to, Religious Education classes to allow families to truly engage with our faith family and in our amazing Catholic faith in this special year.
