First Communion at Saint Luke Catholic Church

• Preparation

Children are enrolled in and regularly attend Grade One religion classes before they are placed in First Penance and First Communion Classes in Grade Two.

This sacrament is received in late April or early May each year. It will be received on May 4, 2024 at 11 AM. Catechists will do some preparation with the children for this sacrament. The parents are expected to help prepare their child for this most important sacrament.

The children will participate in a Retreat, and there are Parent Meetings to help parents prepare their child for First Communion.
