First Holy Communion

All students in the 2nd grade are invited to be part of the St. Edward's 1st Reconciliation / 1st Communion program. Registration is available here.

Students not in Catholic school are expected to attend weekly classes on Wednesdays, 6:30-7:45. All students are expected to attend the events listed below, and parents are expected to attend six meetings during the year, in addition to the orientation meeting during the first week of classes.

The parents of any child older than 2nd grade but who has not yet received 1st Reconciliation and/or 1st Communion should contact Dan and Bethany Meola: religioused@stedwardbowie.com so we can come up with a plan to help your child(ren) receive these sacraments.
