We thank you for helping your children prepare themselves for this very important Sacrament.
The Church always emphasize the primary role of the parents as the first teachers of the faith to
their children. Catechists are only helping you, parents, to fulfill your obligation to your children
to bring them up to the faith which you have given them when they were baptized.
All First Communion classes in English and Spanish in our Parish are conducted in the
Banning Site ( 157 West Nicolet ) at the Catechetical Center and usually done in the evening.
Parents are required to sign in and sign out their children. This is to ensure the safety of your
children. Parents will also take a formation designed for the parents so they can be helped in
teaching their children.
Do we need Godparents for First Holy Communion?
While it is a custom in some areas for a family to select godparents for first communion, this custom is not universally practiced.
Canon law does not address the issue of sponsors/godparents/padrinos for First Holy Communion.
To register your children for First Communion classes, please call the Director of
Catechetical Ministry , Esmeralda Esquivel at 951-845-2849 ext 303 or 305.
We are also in need of Volunteer Catechists. If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Catechist,
please call the parish office or the Catechetical Coordinator.
