First Eucharist and Reconciliation

All students in their second year of sacramental preparation must attend sacrament classes in addition to regular CCE classes. Sacrament classes take place every other Saturday from 12:00-2:00 pm. The dates are listed on the CCE calendar. They are also listed here for your convenience.

During the first semester, children will study the sacrament of reconciliation. They will make their first confession between November and January. During the second semester, children will study the Eucharist. There will be mandatory First Communion rehearsals in May.

Please see the St. Justin Martyr Religious Education Handbook under the 'Registration' tab to read about attendance requirements for CCE and sacrament classes.

There will be a parent meeting on October 8, 2016 during your child's sacrament class to explain the sacramental preparation process. Please drop your child off in class, then meet in room 207 to begin the parent meeting.

If you are not bringing your child to Mass every Sunday, please begin now. The sacramental instruction they receive will not make sense if they are not practicing their faith.
