RE | First Holy Communion
Holy Communion is a two year program that begins in the 1st grade. Children are prepared to receive their first Holy Communion in the Spring of their 2nd grade year.
Children are prepared to receive these sacraments through three different formation methods. See below for to find out which applies to your child:
- Children who are enrolled in public schools should enroll in CCD classes
- Children who are enrolled in Holy Spirit School (or any other Catholic school) will complete their religious education in school
- If your child is enrolled in another Catholic school – please notify the Religious Education Office so we are aware.
- Children who are homeschooled complete their religious education at home
If your child is older than 2nd grade, please contact the Office of Religious Education as soon as possible so we can help you. Every child should receive the precious and life-giving Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
If your child is already registered for Religious Education (CCD) classes, Homeschool, or Holy Spirit School, and you would like to proceed with your child’s preparation for first Confession and first Holy Communion, fill out the FHC Registration and Information Form.
