First Communion

At Our Lady of Light, students celebrate First Communion in the spring of 2nd grade. Throughout First Communion preparation, students also prepare for First Reconciliation and receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before their First Communion.​

PARISH PROGRAM: Our First Communion sacramental preparation will largely take place in the classroom during our Awaken program. Retreats will be in October for reconciliation and Feb/March for First Communion. In January, there will be a special retreat just for parents, designed to deepen their understanding of the Eucharist and support them in guiding their children more effectively.

INCARNATION SCHOOL: The majority of sacramental preparation will take place in the classroom at Incarnation school. Retreats will be in October for reconciliation and Feb/March for First Communion. In January, there will be a special retreat just for parents, designed to deepen their understanding of the Eucharist and support them in guiding their children more effectively.

ADAPTIVE: It is our goal to give all students an opportunity to participate in the weekly classes. If that environment will not work for your child, we are also offering an adaptive program where we can work more closely with your child. Please reach out to us for more information.

​AT-HOME RETREAT OPTION: These at-home experiences are filled with prayer, online informative videos, questions to answer, activities for you and your child, and resources to better prepare for the sacrament of First Reconciliation and First Communion.

​All students must be baptized before receiving the sacrament of First Communion, and our staff is excited to help your family with that process. Please contact the Parish Offices for more information.
