First Reconciliation and First Communion

The Archdiocese of Mobile requires a two-year sacramental preparation program for children who are ready for sacraments.  To receive First Holy Communion in 2022, children must have enrolled at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School or in a parish program in 2020 – 2021.  Without prior preparation, children will need to enroll in classes for the initial year of the two-year process.

Will be celebrated for students who are juniors or seniors in high school.  Following guidelines of the Archdiocese of Mobile, the preparation for the sacrament is a two-year program.  Students who are new to our parish and are sixteen or older, requesting the sacrament, call the Church office at 334-272-3463.
