Sacramental Preparation

FCFF includes 2nd grade First Reconciliation and First Communion class (one year), as well as the 7-8th grade Youth Catechesis + Confirmation class. If your child is older than 2nd grade and still needs to make his/her First Communion they can make it the year that they join the program.  Also, if your child is older than 7th-8th grade and still needs to make his/her Confirmation they can still join our program as well.
