  • Registration fee is $25/student.


  • (Please note: if your child attends the Basilica School of St. Paul, they do not need to attend these classes since they receive their preparation in school.)

  • First Holy Communion is most often celebrated by children around the age of seven or eight, when they have reached the age of reason and are capable of participating in the sacramental life of the Catholic Church, usually Grade Two. First Holy Communion is to be preceded by the sacraments of baptism and reconciliation.


  • IMPORTANT: All students or their families must be registered with the Basilia of St. Paul to participate in our First Reconciliation/First Holy Communion program, and they must regularly attend Sunday Mass. For those students who are not registered with the Basilica of St. Paul, they must receive permission from the pastor of the parish where the attend Mass before registering.


  • Please bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate and baptismal certificate to the Registration Open House.



  • You may download and complete the registration, image release form and medical waiver forms in advance and bring them with you to the Registration Open House.
