The First Communion formation preparation is a two-year program, as mandated by the Fall River Diocese, which generally begins in the First grade, with the reception of the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion in the spring of the student's Second grade year.
First Communion sessions will be held twice a month on Sunday mornings at St. Anthony Church from 9:30am to 10:45am. Students are encouraged to attend Mass either prior (8am Mass) to our class session or afterwards (11am Mass).
Below you will find the online version of the weekly Mass Journal for our "Meet You at the Altar" program. When filling out the journal, please provide a valid email address as that is how our catechists will be responding to the journal. Be sure to click on the "submit" button when you are finished to ensure that your journal is submitted.
Online journals will be available until the Wednesday following a Mass and then will change over to the following weekend. You may still access the previous weeks' journals via downloadable copy on the list to the right. Hard copies of all journals can also be found in each of our churches.
