Children, who turn 7 by September 1 of the current year and are in second grade, prepare to celebrate 1st Reconciliation and 1st Eucharist. The Archdiocese of Atlanta requires that children preparing for these sacraments attend formational religious education for two years. This means that children who plan to celebrate the sacraments in the second grade must also have participated in religious education in the 1st grade whether it is through a parish sponsored religious education program (PSR) or Catholic School attendance. 1st Reconciliation typically takes place in January and 1st Eucharist in May. Special programs are available for children who are in grade 3 or higher and have not yet celebrated these sacraments. Please look for more information under "RCIC Program."
