FIRST COMMUNION FOR CHILDREN

Formation for First Communion at St. Pancratius is a FAMILY JOURNEY. Our process is structured for the whole family to grow together in their relationship with Jesus.

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT the traditional catechism program where children get dropped off in a classroom every week. Our formation requires a deeper level of participation from both parents and children.
