Guidelines For Children Receiving
The Sacrament of First Holy Communion
At St. Mary Magdalene Church
  • Catholic Baptism (or a valid Christian Baptism, but this requires a Profession of Faith, see below)
  • Two-year sacramental preparation program. For most children, preparation is integrated into their normal religious education class curriculum.  Older children in need of sacraments will attend their regular classes, as well as adapted sacramental preparation classes.
  • Children, who are seven or older and never baptized, will usually receive all three Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation) in the second year of their sacramental preparation. They will participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults Adapted for Children (RCIC).
  • Children who are baptized in another Christian faith and would like to enter into full communion with the Catholic Church require catechesis and a Profession of Faith.
  • Participation of PARENTS in sacramental preparation meetings.
  • Children are required to attend weekly Sunday Mass with their families.
