First Holy Communion

First Holy Communion for Children:

Formal preparation to receive First Holy Communion is recommended and offered in 2nd Grade. Our good intention is to not only prepare children to receive their First Holy Communion, but to also help children grow in their love (for Jesus) in the Eucharist!
*Please note: In St. Michael Catholic Church, preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation precedes the preparation and reception of First Holy Communion.

Guided preparation for the sacrament occurs in both the St. Michael Catholic Church Faith Formation Program and St. Michael Catholic School.  ENROLLMENT IS REQUIRED in EITHER the Faith Formation Program or St. Michael Catholic School (in order to prepare). School families and Faith Formation families participate, “make ready”, and celebrate together! 

The preparation program for the reception of FIRST HOLY COMMUNION (2022) includes:  
 

• Classroom and Home formation using the Blessed FIRST COMMUNION program (published through Dynamic Catholic). St. Michael Faith Formation children and St. Michael School children will be given their Blessed FIRST COMMUNION books and begin “formal” preparation in January 2022.

• Participation in Parent and/or Parent+Child gatherings whether LIVE (In Person) or REMOTELY

St. Michael School and St. Michael Faith Formation children are invited to celebrate and receive their FIRST HOLY COMMUNION during a special Mass on:

Saturday, April 30, 2022, at 10:00 a.m.
or
Saturday, May 14, 2022, at 10:00 a.m.
