Eucharist is a Sacrament of relationship and unity. We prepare children to receive Eucharist in the Spring.

First Holy Communion/Eucharist preparation is offered separately from regular Faith Formation (CCE) classes.  First Communion preparation is primarily done by parents.  Assistance from the Parish is provided in the form of supplemental lessons, a workshop and written resources.

• Currently enrolled and attending their second year of  Faith Formation or attending a Catholic School, or participating in a Catholic homeschool program.
• Registration in the Faith Formation must include good attendance to be eligible.
