First Reconciliation & First Eucharist
"Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life. Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love, come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration."
~ Saint Teresa of Calcutta
Sacraments
First Reconciliation & First Eucharist
In the Diocese of Calgary, children must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation prior to receiving the Sacrament of First Eucharist. Therefore, First Reconciliation preparation and celebration will take place in the fall and First Eucharist in the spring of the same school year. Children grade 2 and up who have received baptism or have made the Profession of Faith in the Catholic Church can register for both First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
Children who have had their First Reconciliation can register for the Sacrament of First Eucharist alone. If your child has already received First Eucharist but has not had their first Reconciliation, they can register for First Reconciliation alone.
