      First Communion Registration
      (If using a phone, Scroll down for the Registration Form)
      Deadline for registration is September 26, 2023

      Dear Parent/Guardian:
      St. Therese Parish welcomes with joy children in grades two or above to prepare to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation (Confession) and First Holy Communion which is are very important steps in your child’s faith journey.

      To register please follow these steps:

      1. Complete the Registration Form on this page & Click SUBMIT.
      2. Bring a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate to our Orientation meeting which will take place on Tuesday September 26th, 2023, at 7:30 pm after evening Mass at our church.
        1. If you cannot find the proof of baptism, you can obtain the certificate from the parish where your child was baptized. Kindly contact them directly.
        2. If that parish is St. Therese, simply fill in the registration form and we will verify the information in our baptismal registery.
        3. If your child is not baptized or was not baptized in the Catholic Church, parents must contact the parish office and meet with the priest to discuss the matter.
      3. To help offset the cost of materials, there is a registration fee of $60 payable by cheque or cash. Please make cheques payable to: St. Therese Catholic Church.
      4. According to the guidelines of Diocese of Peterborough, children should receive their sacraments at their parent’s home parish; however, should you want to receive them at St Therese, please obtain a permission letter from the pastor at the parish you belong to. Alternately if you are not a member of any parish but wish to deepen your faith life in our community, we encourage you to fill out our parish registration form. Click HERE for our parish registration form.
      5. Throughout the catechetical year, we ask you the parents/guardians to actively participate in your children's learning by helping them study the materials provided.
      6. We ask you to attend our Mandatory Educational Masses together with your children.(see the schedule provided below).
      7. Your contact email will be our main means of communication with you, the parent/guardian.

      Our St. Therese parish community is looking forward to supporting your children in prayer as they prepare to receive the sacraments and celebrate them with you & your family.

      God Bless,
      Rev Wojciech Blach OMI, Pastor
