In the Diocese of Memphis, First Communion requires two years of preparation, either in the parish or Catholic school. Children who are not in Catholic school, need to participate in parish faith formation two years prior to receiving the sacraments. If your child would like to receive First Communion in 2023 but did not participate in parish or school formation this year, please contact Christina at [email protected] to talk about a possible summer make up option.
Preparing for First Communion in the Diocese of Memphis is a two year process.
