St. Anthony's parish prepares children to receive the Most Holy Eucharist -- the source and summit of our Catholic faith. Also at this time children are prepared for the sacrament of Reconciliation.
First Reconciliation / First Holy Communion: First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion will be offered to all 2nd through 4th
Graders who are:
At least 7 years of age, in the second grade, by the time classes begin in September.
Have been enrolled and maintained attendance in Faith Formation classes for the past 2 consecutive years.
First Holy Communion preparation will take place about 1 Sunday a month Sept - April. We will meet from 9 - 9:45 AM (between Masses). We will hold 2 half-day retreats, one in December and one in the Spring. There is a $30 fee for these classes to cover the cost of the books. Please contact Beth Cowles to get all the details and register for Sacramental Preparation.
For children older than 4th grade who have been baptized, but missed the preparation for Reconciliation and First Communion, there will be a special set of classes geared toward an older group. Please contact Beth Cowles if your child is in this situation.
