2023 - 2024 Together in Jesus First Reconciliation and First Eucharist RFY
Thank you for being a part of Together in Jesus First Reconciliation and First Eucharist Programs at-home for RFY this year! Our hope is that this will provide some additional background for First Penance and First Communion preparation here at Saint Maximilian Kolbe Church. This WILL NOT replace the First Penance and First Eucharist preparation program.
Links to weekly lessons can be found below. They will be updated by Sunday evening of each week.
Please submit each week’s materials either directly via email to rburbrink@saint-max.org OR submit paper version to the SACRAMENT “MAILBOX” which can be found on top of the mailboxes in the breezeway. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR YOUTH’S NAME ON ANY EMAIL/PAPER DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED.

Please don’t hesitate to contact Robin Burbrink with any questions!
Girls: Please wear your Sunday best. White dresses are very popular, though certainly not required. Veils, headbands, flowers, barrettes, and so on are often worn by the girls, but are not required. Gloves may not be worn during Mass.
Boys: Please wear your Sunday best. Many boys wear nice trousers, ties, and jackets, though these are not required.
In order to show reverence and respect, photography and video recording are not permitted during Mass.
Families are welcome to take pictures before and after Mass in the Gathering Space, as time allows.
If you wish, you may bring your child to church during the week for your own photos to be able to have a more leisurely time for pictures. Please contact Colleen Dill at 777-4322, ext. 106 to check on church availability. You can also reach Colleen by email at cdill@saint-max.org.
If your First Communicant has a peanut or gluten allergy, please let us know at least one week prior to his / her reception of the sacrament to make arrangements for your child to receive safely.
