CONGRATULATIONS FIRST SACRAMENTS CLASS OF 2023 :)
First Eucharist, 4/30/23
Registration 2023-2024
The Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist
We would like to welcome you to our First Reconciliation and First Eucharist program at St. Francis of Assisi. We have changed our program a bit in an effort to reaffirm our commitment to you as partners in faith with you and your family. We also aim to make learning about the Sacraments more fulfilling as well as convenient for you.
The Sacraments are blessings that continually bring us spiritually closer to Jesus. Children learn by example. It is from us receiving Reconciliation and the Eucharist weekly at Mass, that our children begin to realize that doing this is a vital part of our faith and being Catholic is very important to us. With this new program you (the parent/guardian) will be the main catechist or teacher of the faith for your child. We will give you the tools to help you in this exciting new endeavor.
For more information contact Elizabeth Woods, Director of Faith Formation, at 627-3357 or email at [email protected].
Please note: Mass, along with prayer and Scripture, is how our relationship with God grows stronger and allows us a dedicated time in our busy lives for reconnecting with the love of the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Weekly Mass is also a practice required of all Catholics and is a good habit to instill in our children early. For this reason, Mass attendance is mandatory at least three times per month. Failure to attend Mass regularly may result in the Sacraments being delayed.
We urge every student to make their best effort to come to every session before their First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. If for some reason this is not possible due to a scheduling conflict, the student must complete the Virtual Session for the month by the end of the month. Each session will be linked below via Google Forms, which will be automatically submitted when they are complete. Thank you!
