First Holy Communion

Information for the 2023-24 First Communion Sacramental Program coming late July 2023.

As baptized members of God’s family, our parish’s children who are in second grade or above are invited to continue on their path of initiation into the Catholic church by receiving Jesus in their First Holy Communion and Jesus’ forgiveness and healing through the sacrament of Reconciliation. To help prepare for these sacraments we offer a First Communion Sacramental Preparation Program where both child and parent will be actively involved. 

In addition to the First Communion Sacramental Preparation Program, students will need to participate in a faith formation program.

  • If your child attends Bishop Leibold School or another Catholic parochial school, they will participate in the religion program at school.
  • If your child attends a public or non-Catholic private school, they will also need to participate in St. Henry’s Parish School of Religion (PSR) program.
  • If your child is homeschooled, please contact Jennifer Zwiers to discuss which faith formation program option works best for your family.
