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 receive a First Eucharist registration mailing in early January. This mailing includes information on preparation for the sacrament, program registration information, and information on the requirements for 2nd grade participants, which include attendance at one of two Family Sessions offered in February and attendance at a Blessing Cup Session in March. 

The family session for First Eucharist will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2020 and Monday, February 24, 2020.  Families must attend one of these sessions.
