FIRST COMMUNION

First Communion is the celebration of receiving the sacrament of the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.  In the Religious Education Program, children are prepared to receive this most precious gift for the rest of their lives, as they continue to grow in the love and grace of Christ.

Below, you will find all the important documents, guidelines, meetings, important dates, and any other information pertaining to the celebration of your child's First Communion.  **(NOTE: The information below is ONLY for those celebrating First Communion in 2020.)

"The Eucharist is 'the source and summit of the Christian life.'  The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch."
--Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324
