Children typically prepare for their First Holy Communion during the second half of their second grade year and celebrate this sacrament of the Eucharist he last weekend of April.  Parents are expected to take their children to Mass, model receiving the Eucharist, attend parent meetings, and work on preparation in the home as well as be involved in what is happening in their child’s religion classes.

The church recommends that children prepare for and celebrate Reconciliation prior to receiving communion. Children at St. Joseph prepare for this sacrament of healing in the fall and celebrate during Advent.

Enrollment for Communion preparation begins in the spring prior to fall classes.
