Parents of second-graders interested in First Communion are invited to attend a planning meeting at 6 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 12, in the 3rd Grade classroom at St. Thomas Aquinas School. Information about the sacrament of First Reconciliation will be offered, as well as materials that will be used for preparation.

Children must be baptized to make the sacrament of Reconciliation. If your child was not baptized at St, Thomas Aquinas, please bring a copy of their baptismal certificate. If you have the original and cannot make a copy, please bring the original and we will copy it for you after our meeting.

For First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion, we ask each family to pay a $50 activity fee for each sacrament. The money goes toward food and activities that we do during the retreats, photos, and other sacramental preparation expenses. Please bring cash or a $50 check (made out to St. Thomas Aquinas) to the parent meeting. For more information about these programs and sacraments, please contact Karla Hudecek, pastoral associate and DRE, at khudecek@staindy.org .
