First Communion and Confession for Children

Children who are validily baptized can prepare for the Sacraments of Reconcilation and the Holy Eucharist beginning in their second-grade year (or 7 years of age). The formation process includes attending five Sacrament Preparation Classes and participation in the Family of Faith formation program (formally called LIFT). The cost for First Holy Communion classes is $50 per child.

We are in need of teen and adult volunteers to share their faith and their gifts with those preparing for the sacarments. If you would like to volunteer or have specific questions about sacrament prep for children please contact  Andrea Zachman in the Parish Office at 763-497-2745 x216 or  azachman@stmcatholicchurch.org
