First Communion/Reconciliation for 2020/21 School Year
“I have called you by name; you are mine.” ~ Isaiah 43:1
The focus of these sessions is on deepening faith and knowledge. We prepare together to come before
the mercy of the Lord in First Reconciliation, and to receive God truly present in the Holy Eucharist at
the Mass. *Please note that we will be offering VIRTUAL CLASSES for our sacramental preparation
program. The reception of sacraments themselves will occur in-person.
Grade 3 students who were enrolled last year and unable to complete their formation and receive their
sacrament due to the pandemic will be contacted by a member of the First Communion Team. You do
not need to complete the registration form again. Fees collected last year will be applied to this year’s
program.
For current grade 2 students seeking to participate in the sacrament this year, please complete the
registration form. You can also register by calling the Parish office (613.729.5149) or by email at
stbasilsparish@gmail.com.
Registration is now closed. There is a registration fee of $25 for new
participants to cover course materials. If this cost causes hardship for your family, financial assistance
can be provided. **Parents will be required to pick up First Communion course material at the Parish
office – details to be provided once registered.
For those seeking to receive First Communion and Reconciliation and have not been baptized, please
contact the Parish office: stbasilsparish@gmail.com
