First Holy Communion

Preparation for First Confession and First Holy Communion is a two-year process that begins in first grade. Children ordinarily receive these sacraments during their second-grade year.

Children complete their formation through one of three methods.

• Children enrolled in public school must enroll in Religious Education classes at the start of first grade.
• Children enrolled in Holy Spirit School complete their religious education through the school.
• Children who are homeschooled complete their religious education at home.

At the start of second grade, every family—regardless of formation method—must complete the First Holy Communion Information & Registration Form.

If your child is older than second 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!
