First Reconciliation
& First Communion
For Grade 3 & 4
Prep classes for First Reconciliation and First Communion (together) take place twice a year for kids in Grades 3 & 4 through our Kids Ministry.
The process
To begin, kids should attend Catch the Wave and/or the Good Shepherd Atrium for at least a year (20 times.)
At that point, parents will receive an invitation to enroll their child in an upcoming nine-week prep session. (Cost: $200)
(Note: Kids in Grade 5 and up prepare for all sacraments through Ignation.)
Signs of readiness
- Do they enjoy coming to church?
- Do they have a good attitude towards prayer?
- Can they mostly stay focused and participate during mass?
- Are they curious about receiving Jesus in Communion?
For Grade 5 & up
For Grade 5 & up, preparation is done through IGNATION, our teens ministry.
Confirmation
For Minors
Confirmation will take place on June 1st, 2025 at the 10am Mass. Interested? Register here
Cost:
Ignation plus Confirmation – $200
Ignation only – $150
To be ready for Confirmation, a young person must have been baptized and have received their First Communion. In addition, they must freely desire Confirmation as a next step in faith.
Although there are no specific age requirements, we recommend Grade 7 and up.
First step:
Sign up for our youth program, Ignation, and participate during the fall.
Second step:
Take the 10-week prep course plus a retreat in the spring (retreat date TBD).
The Confirmation prep course takes place within Ignation. Ignation takes place in the Church Hall on Thursdays, beginning October 3rd:
- Tweens (grades 4-6): from 5 to 7pm, including dinner
- Early high school (grades 7-9): from 7 to 9pm
