These sacraments are usually received at the age of 7.  The instruction period is two years.  Instructional classes will be held throughout the year for the parents of those 2nd Graders who are making their First Communion during the Easter Season. The children will attend several workshops throughout their preparation to learn about Penance, Eucharist, receiving of both sacraments.  Dates and class descriptions will be forwarded through our Christian Formation Ministry.  For more information, contact Denise Stefanelli, our DRE.  (link to her directory info).
