First Holy Eucharist, also known as “First Holy Communion,” is the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

Children are taught that the bread and wine become Jesus’ Body and Blood through the power of the Holy Spirit and the words of the priest. They are instructed to receive the Body and Blood with reverence and that through the Eucharist they receive strength to live as followers of Jesus.

Children desiring to prepare for First Holy Eucharist the child must meet the following requirements to register:

  • Received the Sacrament of Baptism

  • Received the Sacrament of Reconciliation

  • Be at least 7 years old

  • Completed the prior year of Catholic religious education at a parish or Catholic school

  • Attend Mass with their family every Sunday & Holy Day of Obligation

Parents are the primary educators of faith to their children, and we are here to offer you materials and support as you prepare your son or daughter for this Sacrament. Families will participate in the Family Faith Formation program and will also be provided with additional materials specific to sacramental preparation to work with their children at home. Parents will also be asked to view some materials online and to provide follow up comments.

This program requires registration in our Family Faith Formation. For additional details, click HERE.
