Dear Parents and Guardians,
It is with great anticipation and excitement that we welcome you to St. Martin of Tours to consider participation in the preparation of your child for the sacraments of First Penance and First Holy Communion.
Preparation for the reception of these sacraments is a two-year process of formal instruction in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, typically beginning at age six, or first grade. In the first year of instruction, children are introduced to the general precepts, practices, and prayers of their Catholic faith.
The second year of instruction is specifically focused on the child’s individual understanding of the sacrament of Reconciliation, which is received prior to First Communion, and their understanding and regular participation in Sunday Mass, which is essential for their reception of First Holy Communion.
LOCATION FOR CLASSES: SAINT MARTIN OF TOURS SCHOOL LIBRARY & ROOM 1
As the primary educators of your children, we invite you to accompany them on their incredible faith journey towards the reception of these sacraments.
Our classes resume September 19, 2024. Please fill out the First Communion Registration Form (see link below) and return it with: (1) a copy of your child's baptismal certificate and (2) payment for the class (see registration form for details).
