First Holy Communion in our Parish 2027
Our 2026 Sacramental Program is now complete! Please see general information below for our 2027 program. Registrations are not yet open, and dates are subject to change. Firm dates will be released by December 2026, and registrations opened.
Registrations are made through the Qkr! App. You can find it in your app store or use this link on desktop: https://qkr-store.qkrschool.com/store/#/home. The Parish website has a how-to guide for those unfamiliar: https://stjjvwestoncreek.blogspot.com/p/qkr-how-when-where-and-why.html. You can make an account and search for “Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish”. A profile for your child can be made under ‘profiles’, and forms are under the heading ‘Parish’, and then ‘sacrament’. Please reach out if you have any trouble.
Starting in 2026, children in Year 4 will make their First Reconciliation, Year 5 their First Holy Communion, and Year 6 Confirmation. If for any reason your child missed has making their First Holy Communion in previous years, they are invited to participate in a ‘catch up’ program for First Holy Communion regardless of their year level.
