The celebration of the First Communion is an exciting parish event. The community here at Visitation of Our Lady welcomes your child as he/she joins us in receiving our Lord Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist for the very first time!
Religious instruction is required during 1st and 2nd grades in order for children to receive this sacrament in 2nd grade. If your child is not attending a Catholic school, please register your child for the CCD Program. Thank you for your commitment to this program and to your child’s religious education.
First Communion at Visitation of Our Lady will be celebrated on Saturday, May 4, 2024 at 11:00 am.
Parents of Penance/Communion students must attend a Parent Seminar on Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at 7:00 pm in church.
Please also review the Dress Code for the celebration of First Communion.
