Children celebrate First Eucharist (i.e., First Communion) in second grade. Preparation for Eucharist includes participation in Catholic Formation classes or the parish school religion class in first and second grade. Children who do not complete the first year of preparation in 1st grade can either complete it in 2nd grade and celebrate the sacrament in 3rd grade or request a make-up-material packet. This packet must be completed before October.
Registered parishioners with children in 2nd grade who attend a Catholic School or the parish Catholic Formation program should complete the sacramental interview with the Director of Child Ministry and attend all retreats and family sessions for the sacrament.
The family session for First Eucharist will be held on Monday, February 22, 2021 from 5:00-6:30pm and Thursday, February 25, 2021 from 5:00-6:30pm. Families must attend one of these sessions.
