Sacramental Preparation

Sacramental Preparation for Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist

Your child’s First Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist are a unique, intimate encounter with Jesus.

What is vital to your child’s interior growth is the formation by word and example they receive from you, their parents! In this way, we strive to affirm and accompany you, as you live out your vocation and form your children's faith. 

In the Archdiocese of New Orleans, preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist takes place within the parish setting, ordinarily when the child is in the second grade, age 7 or 8. One year of preparation in parish should begin at least one year prior.
