ABOUT THE FIRST COMMUNION PROGRAM

In this two-year program, children do lessons at home with the guidance of a parent or loved one then attend with one parent or a loved one a small group class each month.

Our philosophy is to partner with parents in planting the seeds of our faith. Child benefit and learn from their parents' own engagement as they model what it means to be a practicing Catholic.
