FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

All Second Grade students who have been baptized and are registered members of JGS receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. Students meet on Sunday mornings beginning in September. As part of their preparation, the students participate in three "Rites of Preparation", informally meet with the Pastor, and participate in Jesus Day, our FHC Retreat. The Sacrament of First Reconciliation takes place in February and the Sacrament of First Holy Communion takes place in the Spring.

CONFIRMATION
All students whose families are registered at JGS entering 9th grade receive an invitation to enter the program. "Confirmed in a Faithful Community" is the program we use for Confirmation preparation. We begin in September with a Kickoff Retreat and continue meeting bi-monthly in small groups on Sunday evenings. Several Retreats and Community Building Projects occur throughout the program. The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in the Spring.
