First Eucharist

At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet 'in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.

 First Communion preparation program

First Communion is typically received during the second grade for baptized Catholics.

Students have to be Catechized for at least one year prior to First Communion preparation year. 

Older students who are baptized Catholic can still be prepared by registering in our Religious Education Program.

For students who do not attend one of our parish schools, you can attend our parish First Communion preparation in the evening. These classes take place on Monday nights from 6:30-7:45pm during our Religious Education Program (REP).


Children must be baptized and have completed first grade catechesis before beginning second grade sacrament preparation.
