First Penance & Holy Communion

First Penance

Occurring in second grade for school-age children of Saint Patrick School, as well as those who participate in CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine).

First Holy Communion

The sacrament of First Communion, according to tradition, is received when a child has reached the age of reason.  The preparation required to receive the Eucharist is offered, therefore, during Religious Education in the First and Second Grades.

First Holy Communion Mass takes place each May for registered students.

Homeschooling families or others seeking First Holy Communion for their children outside these dates, please contact the Religious Education Office.
