First Communion Preparation

First Communion & First Reconciliation

At Saint Clare of Assisi, our preparation for First Communion and First Reconciliation is a two-year journey that lays a deep spiritual foundation for your child.

Why Two Years?

These sacraments are profound encounters with Christ. We want each child to understand and receive them with reverence, joy, and lasting faith.

Family-Centered Approach

  • Home-based learning: Parents guide their child weekly (30–45 mins).
  • All materials provided: Curriculum, guides, and support from a parish catechist.
  • Monthly gatherings: Parent + child join other families for teaching, activities, and support.

This flexible format supports your role as the domestic church—fostering learning, prayer, and growth at home while connecting with other families on the same path.

Middle & High School Students

Older students prepare for the Sacraments through our Youth Ministry program. Please contact Fernando Cartagena, Director of Youth Ministry, for more information.
