The First Communion formation preparation is a two-year program, as mandated by the Fall River Diocese, which generally begins in the 1st grade, with the reception of the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion in the spring of the student's 2nd grade year.

First Communion sessions will be held once a month on Sunday mornings at St. Anthony's from 9:45am to 10:45am. Students are encouraged to attend Mass either prior (8:45am Mass) to our class session or afterwards (11am Mass)

Students in our First Communion program are also asked to partcipate in the regular, "Meet You at the Altar" program for the 2020-2021 Faith Formation year. Please view our main Faith Formation page for information about "Meet You at the Altar"
