Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.' And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.'" (Lk 22:19-20)

At St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, children who have been baptized begin direct preparation to receive First Communion in second grade. The program includes preparation for Reconciliation in the fall and First Communion in the spring and includes students from both Religious Ed and Catholic Schools.  Children should have at least one year of formation prior to their second grade year to begin preparation.  Second grade students, along with their parents, come together to participate in parish retreats, while continuing the learning at home with materials supplied by the parish.   For more information please contact Jill Sires, jsires@seasp.org.  Registration for the 2018-19 Sacramental Program is now open.
