Preparation for Penance / Reconciliation and First Communion
Due to the Covid-19 public health emergency, the celebrations of First Communion were postponed. We don't know at what point public masses will resume and how we will schedule the celebrations for the children. Families will receive adequate notice once we are able to plan.
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.
We hope to give families the resources and support to effectively prepare their children.
