First Holy Communion
Jesus gives himself to us, body, soul and divinity, in the Eucharist as spiritual nourishment, because he loves us dearly. By consuming the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist, we become united to the person of Christ through his humanity.
​
Please follow the appropriate guidelines for First Communion:
Sign up for a First Communion class (2nd grade)
These classes take place in any of our parishes. (Check here for religious education times at your parish.) If your child is older than 2nd grade, please contact your parish office.
Attend a First Communion parent meeting
This will take place at your parish, timing and details will be communicated by your child’s teacher.
Complete Meetings, Class and Child Readiness Materials
During the parent meeting, you may receive materials to complete with your child. Please complete them in a timely manner. Child readiness includes completing class material, and preparing/practicing the actions of your child for First Reconciliation and First Communion.
Retreats and Rehearsal
Participate in the scheduled retreats, rehearsals, and Sacrament events throughout the year!
​
First Communion Mass
First Communion Mass will be scheduled pending Father's schedule, other pastorate parish Masses, and discussion with the parents.
