NOTE: this is the information for June 2025. When information for 2026 is available this page will be updated and parents notified via remind.
In the Diocese of St. Paul, anyone preparing for First Communion must already have had First Reconciliation AND Confirmation. If your child already received these in another parish/Diocese, please contact the Prep team so we can register her/him accordingly.
First Eucharist Preparation Classes: May 31 and June 14, 2025. Children and a parent/guardian must attend both classes. Please bring colouring stuff, a glue stick and scotch (clear) tape. On the first session, if your chid has any type of jersey/team/school shirt, please have them wear it.
June 14 is only a few days before First Communion, these dates were posted February 22; please plan to attend June 14 as we cannot guarantee a make-up session can be done.
Your child will have the Sacrament of Reconciliation will be June 21 11:00 @ St. Dominic church, so that their hearts are prepared for receiving their First Communion. Like Reconcilation at the parish during Advent/Lent, this is not a celebration with readings; it is first come, first serve.
If your family absolutely cannot attend at this time, it is YOUR responsibility to call the office to arrange for your child to receive reconcilaition between Tuesday (June 17) to Friday (June 20) and contact the Sacramental Prep team so we know your child will be receiving first Communion on the weekend.
Your child WILL NOT be eligible for First Communion June 21/22 if s/he does not have reconciliation the week or day prior.
Celebration of the First Eucharist: Eucharist (Communion) is celebrated at every mass. Mass is a communal celebration. Therfore, our children celebrate their first Eucharist with our larger faith community during regular weekend masses. It is wonderful to have so many young ones celebrating this sacrament; because we have such a large group, we will have some children celebrate at each mass.

Please plan for your child and one adult to arrive at the church at least 20 minutes before the start of mass and connect with the Sacramental Prep team (hall @ St.Dom or foyer @ Assumption).
The rest of your family/party can go directly to your familie's assigned pew upon arrival. One pew will have your child's name on it and because this celebration is part of regular weekend mass, we suggest that any family/friends who would like to sit with your child should arrive relatively early as pews will fill with other parishioners as they arrive, as per any weekend mass.
Please recall and share with your party that pictures should be taken after mass, not during mass.
