First Sacraments

First Communion/First Reconciliation

"The Sacraments are Jesus Christ’s presence in us. So it is important for us to go to Confession and receive Holy Communion."

- Pope Francis

Congratulations! Your son or daughter is old enough (age 7 or older) to receive First Reconciliation and First Communion.
St. Gerard’s has a unique plan to help this happen.
For children to learn what First Communion means, families are the best place to learn. Preparing children begins by preparing parents. This begins by families participating in St. Gerard’s Whole Parish Life together. In our current culture we often struggle to truly connect on an intimate level with our Faith. Whole Parish LIFE formation is the opportunity to Make Sundays Count together as a Family. Please register via the link below:
