Sacramental Preparation: First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion
Please register HERE for sacramental preparation.
Sacramental Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion is a separate program that takes place outside of St. Bridget School or Religious Education. It is open to all St. Bridget children who are in the 2nd grade. All baptized children must prepare for First Reconciliation before preparation for First Holy Communion.
Sacramental preparation is a combination of at-home reading & activities and in-person parish sessions. We are using the Pflaum Together in Jesus First Reconciliation and First Eucharist series. Children must also be enrolled in either the parish Faith Formation classes or attend a Catholic school during their preparation.
In addition, families should be registered members of the St. Bridget Parish. You can register as a parishioner HERE.
