The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Penance) and First Eucharist (Communion) usually are received in the 2^nd grade after completion of two years of study.

Each parent should nurture his/her child in the Catholic faith in preparation for these Sacraments by:

• Attending Sunday Masses and ensuring that his/her child’s Mass attendance booklet is signed by the priest.
• Participating in Masses to help his/her child prepare for these very special Sacraments
• Talking to his/her child about confession and the Eucharist
• Reading bible stories and praying together
• Participating in the Family Sacrament Day activities
