First Eucharist (First Communion) 

Picture


Children are usually prepared for the sacrament of Eucharist (Communion) when they are in grade 2. The Grade 2 program is a catechist on the Eucharist (Mass). Classes consist of one night a week for 3 weeks and are approximately 1 hour in length. Children must attend all classes. There is a mandatory parent/guardian meeting during the first class. Parents are also invited to stay for all other classes. At the parish level the immediate preparation for the reception of Eucharist (Communion) is provided. It includes formation for parents and children. Children are prepared for the Sacrament of Reconciliation prior to reception of Eucharist (Communion). 

(Children must have received the Sacrament of Baptism or have made a Profession of Faith in the Catholic Church and the Sacrament of 1st Reconciliation in order to receive 1st Eucharist (1st Communion.) 
 

2026 First Eucharist classes are:
Wednesdays, April 22 and April 29 at 6:00 p.m. in the hall
(both classes must be attended.)
First Eucharist will be celebrated on Sunday, May 10 at the 11:00 a.m. Mass
