First Communion Timeline

2nd Semester Second Grade

It is most typical for our students to prepare for First Holy Communion during the second semester of their 2nd grade year, and to make their First Communion on the first Sunday of May. Ideally, the student's family will have already undergone our "ROOT" family catechesis year, which introduces families to Salvation History and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Nonetheless, we welcome any Catholic who has been baptized to join us for the sacrament. Please reach out to Clare at cneukam@evdio.org if you have a student in an irregular situation looking to receive the sacrament of reconciliation.

First Communion Preparation

"Nourish" Family Catechesis

Preparation for First Communion is completed through our family catechesis program titled "Nourish." Nourish includes 3 At-Church meeting sessions and 1 At-Church Mini Retreat which takes place directly before your child makes their First Communion. It also includes a take-home box with 10 At-Home Family Meetings. This program will make you a more effective catechist for your children at home, and it will root you deeper into the wonderful family-oriented community at St. Mary's Huntingburg.
