The Sacrament of First Communion is usually received in the 2nd grade for our parish students. Students actively prepare to receive this sacrament both at home and in the Catholic school or School of Religion classroom. To register and pay for your child's SOR and sacramental fees, please go to:

Curé of Ars Catholic School students prepare for this Sacrament as part of their 2nd grade instruction. Those students in the parish Religious Education program will have completed Year 1 and have begun Year 2 of First Reconciliation/First Communion Preparation. First Communion Masses usually take place in the spring of the year.
Parents take the lead role in prioritizing spiritual development and mentoring an enriched Catholic faith life. This includes modeling prayer in the home and attending Sunday Mass. Classroom programs supplement parent teachings in sharing the Catholic faith and encouraging individual spiritual growth.
Students that are beyond 2nd grade and wish to receive this sacrament should contact Bernadette Myers at bernadettemyers@cureofars.com, 913.649.1337 to make individual arrangements for preparation. -
