Reconciliation
Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession):

First Holy Communion:
First Communion is a two year process at St. Luke. The earliest a child can receive the sacrament is in second grade. Usually, the first year of the program is spent in general class with other students at the same grade level. The second year is a class with other students who are specifically preparing for First Communion.
