First  Reconciliation 

& Eucharist

Celebrating God's Forgiveness & Entering into the Fullness of Christ

The Catholic Church recognizes that parents are the first educators of their children, and that a child's understanding of God's love and forgiveness is best experienced in the family setting.  This school year will be a very special year for your child and your family.  We are looking forward to working with you as we prepare your child for the important events of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.

Our program requires families to provide in depth preparation of the second graders for the celebrations of Reconciliation and First Eucharist through at home preparation, parent seminars, and parent/child retreats.

Requirements to Begin Preparation

• Family is registered as parishioners of the St. George Church Parish.
• Child must be in second grade. Child must have completed the first grade religion program at St. George or another church parish (verification required).
• St. George must have on file a copy of the baptismal certificate (or other acceptable proof of baptism) of each child preparing for the Sacrament of First Eucharist before completion of the preparation.  If a family no longer has a copy of the child’s original certificate, the parish of baptism can be directly contacted to request a copy (note that most churches require a few weeks notice).
• Parent(s) must attend mandatory Parent Sacramental Preparation meetings for Reconciliation and Eucharist.
• Parent(s) must attend the mandatory Reconciliation and Eucharist retreats that are important aspects during the preparation year.
• Parent(s) commit to attending weekend Mass with their child.
• Parent(s), as the primary educators of their children, commit to studying with their child through "take-home" materials provided by the parish.
