Are you a baptized Catholic who hasn’t received First Communion?
For Children:
Sacramental preparation and religious formation are necessary for children to receive the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist, a sacrament of initiation. A two-year preparation period is required in the Diocese of Harrisburg. First Holy Communion is traditionally celebrated in the second grade.
However, Sacramental Preparation classes for children, above the second grade, may be held on Sunday morning from 9:30 – 10:45 a.m. and would follow the PREP Calendar Schedule.
First Communion is generally celebrated the last weekend of April and/or the first weekend of May.
Please contact Debbie Holt, the Director of Religious Education, to begin preparation at dholt@sfxcs-pa.org.
For Adults:
First Communion is received after preparation in our Christian initiation (OCIA) program, before a participant is received into full communion with the Catholic Church.
Please visit our OCIA page or contact Becca Dickerson, the Director of Evangelization at rdickerson@sfxcs-pa.org.
