Faith First

At St. Monica’s, our Faith First program is designed for children who are in grades 1-6.  It is a 17-week program, starting in mid-October, in a classroom environment.  Classes are offered on Sunday mornings in our church hall.  All classes are taught by volunteers.

How do I register?

To register, please send your request to faithfirst@stmonica.ca or call the rectory at 514.481.0267, ext. 226. The cost of our program is $75.00 for one child, $100.00 for two children, and $125.00 for three or more.  Please note that no child will be refused based on your inability to pay.

Preparation of the Sacraments

Our program incorporates the preparation of the sacraments of Eucharist, Reconciliation and Confirmation. The sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation are celebrated in grade 3.   The sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in grade 6.  

What is required of the parents?

The religious awakening which takes place in the home is irreplaceable. Faith First gives parents an important opportunity to share your own faith with your children.  Volunteering as a catechist or catechist helper is a good way to show your commitment to your faith. Attending Mass each week is also vital to their spiritual growth.
