Holy Communion

2026-2027 Schedule

Catechetical preparation sessions for the sacrament of Holy Communion is a Two(2) Year program. The sessions are fitted for Ages 7 - early High School age (15 years of age at time of enrollment for the first year). At Age 7 the child must be literate and able to read proficiently at that age level.

  • First Year Holy Communion

  • Second Year Holy Communion

These sessions are structured for only First Holy Communion. 


There are those who are between ages 7 - 15 and Need Baptism, First Holy Communion and perhaps Confirmation and must enroll in the OCIC program (OCIC = Order of Christian Initiation for Children).  OCIC is the formal OCIA formation geared for children and youth.

  • First Year OCIC

  • Second Year OCIC

In the event the person needing to be enrolled will be 16 or 17 years of age during the first enrollment year, they with their parents and/or sponsor must meet with the Religious Education Director or Coordinator prior to enrollment and paying of fees.

Those who are 17 but will be 18 by the end of December of the enrollment starting year must enroll in OCIA instead of any child or youth program. Optionally they may be placed into Adult Confirmation. Any person in this category along with their parents and/or sponsor must meet with the Religious Education Director or Coordinator prior to enrollment and paying of fees.

All catechesis seeks to bring each person to an encounter with Jesus Christ, which becomes a deeper communion with Christ and his Church.  Our Lord told the Apostles to "teach them to observe all that I have commanded you.* And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20). It is for the Body of Christ as a whole which includes the clergy and laity, to observe the mission which Jesus Christ has commissioned His church.
