Preparation for First Confession and First Holy Communion take place when children are in 2nd grade through our Faith Formation program or Shakopee Area Catholic School. Children or youth older than 2nd grade who have not made their First Confession or First Communion can enroll in the Faith Formation program to prepare for the sacraments, too.

First Sacraments preparation includes weekly Mass Journals, Parent Meetings, Retreats, and more.
Our First Sacraments 2021-2022 calendar will be published later this summer. For now, save these dates:

First Confession Parent Meeting with Catholic Speaker Joe Roueche:
Wednesday, October 6, 2021, from 6:15 - 7:15 pm at SACS
