First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation

First Reconciliation preparation is offered in the Fall each year. Second graders and above, who have been baptized Catholic, are invited to experience this sacrament in preparation for receiving their First Holy Communion. Please contact C. Hightower, SJ hightowersj@sfxmissoula.org

FIRST RECONCILIATION & COMMUNION PROGRAM 2022-2023
At SFX, preparation for First Reconciliation and Communion is:

For children 2nd to 5th grade
• Active, engaging, and prayerful – we emphasize doing and experiencing the faith
• From late September to early May
• Once a month sessions on EITHER Mondays OR Wednesdays (not both. choose one and stick with it.)
• A “with your child” experience, not a “drop your child off”
• Weekly activities at home as a family – fun, simple, and enriching
• A special emphasis on Holy Week (April 2nd – 8th)

There are two groups. The idea is to pick one day that works for you, either Monday or Wednesday, and stick with it throughout the year. As we go along I will text you reminders about exactly where to meet on the SFX campus. We’re always on the move!
