First Reconciliation (grade 2 and up)
Combined Preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion
In the Diocese of Calgary, children receiving the Sacrament of First Holy Communion MUST FIRST receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Therefore, preparation for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion is combined in the same school year.
Who should register?
Children in grade 2 and up who had been baptized or made the Profession of Faith in the Catholic Church can register for the Sacrament Preparation Program.
Children who have not been prepared for the Sacrament of First Reconciliation, but had received First Holy Communion, can register for the Sacrament of First Reconciliation only. Please indicate on the registration form that your child will only need to take the First Reconciliation portion of the combined preparation and submit your child's First Holy Communion certificate.
