Parents of children who are at least 7 years of age (second grade) are invited to register their children for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist preparation. Preparation for First Reconciliation and the celebration of the sacrament take place in the fall.

Preparation for First Eucharist and its celebration take place in the spring. Parents are expected to be intimately involved throughout both programs by doing weekly “at home” activities with their children.

Please note that children must first celebrate their First Reconciliation before preparing for First Eucharist. For more information, please contact our Director of Faith Formation, Paul Krenzelok, at paulk@churchoftheholyname.org, 612-724-5465, ext. 203.
