Following the guidelines of the Archdiocese of Seattle, children must have one year of religious instruction before being prepared for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion. Children are normally prepared for these two sacraments in the second grade. If you have a first grader who is not attending a Catholic school, please make sure you have your child enrolled in Sacramental I of our Faith Formation program and regularly attending the class. If you have older children who have not yet received either of these two sacraments, please call us so we may arrange to have them prepared.
