In the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, all parishes including St. Michael the Archangel prepare children to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in 2nd grade.  Children in after school RE (Religious Ed) will prepare at home and in RE Classes.  Children who attend SMA School prepare at home and at school.  All Parish children attend a retreat together, and receive the Sacraments together. 

We are happy to welcome children in grades 3-6 for individualized preparation.  Please contact Shawna Davidson for more information and to be placed on our communications list.

Children may participate in the traditional sacrament preparation model or in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Model.  Both options will be presented and information packets will be given at each of the PARENT ONLY MEETINGS in October.  This meeting also includes Fr. Brian's adult catechesis on the Sacrament of Reconciliation.    

The PARENT MEETING is mandatory for all parents of 2nd Grade children, or those in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC).
