First Holy Communion
First Communion/First Reconciliation
Children receive First Eucharist (Communion) and Reconciliation (Confession) after a two-year preparation in our parish school or through the Parish Religious Education Program. These sacraments are generally received in the second grade. Program fees and more information are included in the registration packet.
In the second year of sacrament preparation, parents will complete a series of digitally-based sacramental formation programs to further strengthen the family’s understanding of the sacramental life. These programs are streamed into home electronic devices (PC, Tablet, SmartPhone, SmartTV) using a free subscription service provided by the parish through Formed.org (Click Here).
New beginning the school term is the Blessed Series from Dynamic Catholic, a wonderful story-based sacramental preparation program. Consistent with the Church’s belief that parents are the first and best teachers of the faith to their children, St. Dominic’s intend to use this series as the “home-based” text for preparing their children for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion.
Visit the RELIGIOUS ED page for more info on how to sign up for the preparation for the 1st Holy Communion.
