Preparation for Penance / Reconciliation and First Communion
The months of preparation to receive the sacraments of Penance and Eucharist are a wonderful time in a child's life. It is also a gift for their families and an opportunity to appreciate anew the great grace which the Lord gives us in the sacraments.
Please note that students are required to attend two years of classes before receiving their First Communion (normally 1st and 2nd grade). If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to contact the Religious Ed Office.
The First Communion dates at St. Emily Parish this year are Saturday, April 27th and Sunday, April 28th, 2024. For 2025, the dates are May 3 & 4.
