If your child is in grades three and up and still needs to receive First Reconciliation & First Eucharist, please contact the parish office at 952-934-9106 to discuss sacramental preparation for older children.
The typical age for children to receive their First Reconciliation and First Eucharist is during second grade. Reconciliation (Confession) is the sacrament in which God’s mercy and forgiveness reconciles the sinner with God, and also with the Church and Christ’s body. Children must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before First Eucharist, when they unite in Holy Communion with Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time.
Sacramental preparation is a journey that we take with parents and children. In addition to the weekly Wednesday formation, children and parents also participate in the following as part of the preparation:
Parent meeting (October)
Parent and child to attend scheduled retreats for First Reconciliation (January) and First Eucharist (April)
First Reconciliation Service (February)
First Eucharist Mass (May)
Our weekly Wednesday formation sessions begin October 4, 2023. Dates for the other events will be communicated soon.
