First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are the second and third of seven sacraments received.  They occur after receiving baptism and once the person has reached the age of reason - around ages 7-8 (usually year 3 in Primary school).  At this age, children should understand the difference between right and wrong and are capable of taking responsibility for their own actions. 

​

It is really important that children are properly prepared.  By making their First Confession prior to receiving First Holy Communion they are fully prepared for this.  First Holy Communion should be a memorable and joyful day.  One to remember for the rest of our lives.
