First Reconciliation and First Eucharist

At about age 7, children can begin to prepare to receive Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ, for the first time. In conjunction with the new Archdiocesan guidelines, preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist is a two-year process that includes preparation for First Reconciliation (Confession) and culminates in the First Communion celebration on the first Sunday in May.
