FIRST EUCHARIST & RECONCILIATION PREP
Preparation for these sacraments is typically for children in grades 2-5. All Saints prepares children for Reconciliation prior to First Eucharist. The program includes 3 components: parent-led lessons, parent & child sessions, and activity day.

  • Reconciliation preparation takes place starting in September with the celebration in November.
  • First Eucharist preparation takes place in the winter and early spring with celebrations after Easter.
If you have questions please contact Karl Horwath        952.469.6564

Children older than 5th grade who would like to receive Reconciliation and Eucharist should contact Karl to discuss an individual preparation plan for them.
