St. Paul the Apostle
The Sacraments of First Reconciliation &
First Holy Communion
The sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion are traditionally celebrated in Grade 2. The Catholic Church believes that by the age of 7 most children are capable of understanding the importance of reconciliation with God and are ready to receive the Eucharist.
