Sacramental Preparation for

First Reconciliation & First Communion

Contact Information: CCE Office (281) 837-0532

Sacramental Preparation is for children who wish to receive their First Reconciliation and their First Holy Communion.

There are five requirements:

1. The child must be already baptized Catholic (if your child was baptized in another Christian faith, please see the RCIA section). Please provide a copy of his/her Catholic baptismal certificate to the church office at registration. We cannot register any child in our sacramental preparation program without the baptismal certificate.

2. The child must be in the 2^nd to 5^th Grade, and be at least seven years old, by the date of enrollment (if your child is in the 6th grade or higher and has not received his/her First Communion, please see the RCIA section).

3 The child must be able to attend the classses on a regular basis.

4. Our archdiocese requires that the family must live within parish boundaries or be registered parishioners in our parish. If your family is not yet registered, please do so ASAP.

5. Attendance at all parent and family (parent/child) sessions is mandatory and required by the parish. Several opportunities are available for each session. Please plan all other activities around this calendar so you do not miss any session.

What do we do in Sacramental Preparation?

Parents meet with their child for Family Sessions in Sacramental Preparation. The parent is an integral part of each child’s preparation for these sacraments and activities are centered around this parent/child team. The parents work with the child at home on the material as well as providing opportunities for prayer and weekly Mass attendance.
