First Reconciliation & Communion
The preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion Run during the school year for 2nd grade children and older enrolled in St. Raphael School or Sunday Faith Formation. To ensure a child is properly formed for the sacramental life they must have been in a catholic school or parish faith formation program the entire school year prior to the school year when they begin sacramental preparation. These children also must be attending weekend Mass every week.

Our Sacrament preparation involves parents working with their child during our group meetings throughout the year. Parents get a chance to spend quality time with their children and be refreshed in knowledge of their faith as well as engage in prayer experiences that will renew their relationship with Jesus.
