First Communion

Welcome!  

“I have called you by name; you are mine.” ~ Isaiah 43:1

Note that registration is now closed.

The focus of these sessions is on deepening faith and knowledge. We
prepare together to come before the mercy of the Lord in First
Reconciliation, and to receive God truly present in the Holy Eucharist at the
Mass.

Grade 2 and Grade 3 students seeking to participate in the sacrament this
year, please complete the registration form. You can also register by calling
the Parish office (613.729.5149) or by email at stbasilsparish@gmail.com.

Completed registration forms are due by February 20, 2023. There is a
registration fee of $25 to cover course materials. If this cost causes
hardship for your family, financial assistance can be provided. 

For those seeking to receive First Communion and Reconciliation and have
not been baptized, please contact the Parish office: stbasilsparish@gmail.com
