Congratulations to the 2024 First Communicants!
Participation in Our Lady of Lourdes School or Faith Formation classes in the first grade is required. First Communion is ordinarily received in second grade. Parents are asked to participate in the program to help prepare their child for the sacrament. Parent meetings are held. First Communion is usually celebrated as a group in spring. For more information, please contact the Traci, Coordinator of Faith Formation Office at [email protected].
Preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation is an on-going process which continues throughout the time the child is in the parish school or the Faith Formation program. Each year an attempt is made to help the child grow in a deeper understanding and appreciation of this sacrament in accord with the child’s awareness and growth. Parents are very much a part of the preparation and parent meetings are held. Parents are urged to make the celebration of First Reconciliation a family affair. The formal reception of this sacrament takes place, usually in fall, when the child is in second grade.
