First Reconciliation (Confession, penance) Children at or about the age of 7 must have this curriculum before they begin their journey to the Altar for the Sacrament of First Eucharist.

First Eucharist (Communion) Sacrament where we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus int he Mass. After having learned about the Sacrament of Reconciliation, children and thier parents will learn about the liturgy, (Mass) and about he mystery of the Body and Blood of Jesus.
