1st Communion
All 3rd grade students, whether attending parochial, public, or home schools, will attend classes together to prepare for the Sacraments of Confirmation & 1st Communion. Parents are the primary witnesses for their children. Therefore, the parents are highly involved in our sacramental preparation programs. St. Cecilia's sacramental preparation program contains instruction for both parents and students.
