First Holy Communion
Communion
What is the Eucharist?
The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. When we faithfully receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, we grow deeper in communion with God and fellowship with one another.
First Communion
Our Sacramental Preparation program is designed as a faith journey for kids in Grades 1-2, and their parents to take together. First Communion preparation begins in September and concludes with First Communion in May.
For your child to receive First Communion, he or she must be enrolled in our Religious Formation and Sacramental Preparation programs.
