FIRST SACRAMENTS =
1st Reconciliation and 1st Communion 

Children are invited to prepare for receiving the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, in 2nd grade (at least 7 years old).  They do so by first learning the importance of accountablity and the joy of God's mercy through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

St. Thomas offers a Sacramental Preparation program to help families nurture a disposition within their child that allows the grace of these sacraments to flourish and take root - empowering them to know, love, and serve God. 

Students who do not receive faith formation as part of their regular academic schooling are highly encouraged to enroll in the parish Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program as part of their preparation for these sacraments.
