Traditionally, we prepare children for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in the third grade at St. Michael. Our preparation program is a combined process for the children and their parents. Parents will participate in an orientation/training session to prepare them to lead six lessons at home for each sacrament. Each Sacrament preparation ends with two, 2-hour parent/child sessions. Children who fulfill the regular faith formation requirement outside of the St. Michael classroom program can register for sacrament preparation only - see the options below.
