First Communion and First Reconciliation (Confession)
The Eucharist is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, and is the “source and summit of the Christian life” (Lumen Gentium 11). However, preparation for making one’s First Communion is preceded by the sacrament of Reconciliation in order to ready mind and heart to receive Jesus in this special way.
Sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion usually takes place when a child is in the second grade. Preparation is done either in Saint Barnabas School or in Saint Barnabas Children’s Religious Education (a Catholic faith formation program for children attending public schools). If your child does not attend Saint Barnabas School, he or she should be enrolled in our Children’s Religious Education program in August in order to be prepare for these Sacraments. Please see the Children’s Religious Education section of this website under Formation for more information about registration.
