Preparation for
reception of the Sacraments:
The preparation takes the form of instruction of children before the time of their
First Communion and First Reconciliation. The Sacraments are received in Grade 2 after a two-year-long period (Grades
1 and 2).
The Sacrament of Reconciliation usually occurs during Advent in December. Each child must have
proof of Baptism, be a member of IC Parish, and have documented attendance in Grade 1 Religious Education either at IC or
at another parish.
