First Eucharist

Year One is the foundational year.

• Children must be in at least 1st Grade.
• Children complete one full year of faith formation (POP Families) immediately prior to beginning Year Two.
• Children who have not yet been Baptized are welcome to attend POP Families. If you are seeking sacraments for your unbaptized child, you must register them for Baptism by clicking here. They will not be eligible to proceed to year two of First Reconciliation and Eucharist preparation without first being Baptized.

If your child is entering 6th grade after participating in POP Families during the 2023-2024 school year, please contact Indira Armes at indira@poopfb.org to learn more about their specific steps.

Year Two is the sacrament-specific preparation year.

• Children must be in at least 2nd Grade and must be Baptized.
• Children and parents will register for POP Families and indicate their desire for the child to enter into their sacramental year within the registration. You will receive an email once we have reviewed your child’s eligibility for year two of First Reconciliation and Eucharist preparation to confirm. 
• Families will attend POP Families monthly large group sessions as they did during year one and will break into sacrament-specific classes in the subsequent sessions each month.
• At least one parent will join their child in their sacrament-specific preparation classroom sessions.
• At least one parent will join their child for the retreat which will be held on campus.
