The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it."
(CCC 1324)
For those preparing to receive First Communion, receiving First Reconciliation is the first step in the formation process. In addition, the Diocese of Madison expects all participants to have participated in at least one year of religious education (either at a parochial school or in a parish program) prior to the year of receiving these two sacraments. This means that a child in 2nd grade will have attended religious education classes in both 1st and 2nd grade before receiving First Reconciliation in the Fall and First Communion in the spring.2nd Graders (those students receiving the sacrament in 2019): Click here to register!
