First Communion

First Communion is the Sacrament in the Church where children, for the first time, receive and participate in the Eucharist by receiving Christ in Holy Communion. It is one of the most important moments in the life of a Catholic child, marking a significant step in their Christian initiation and their relationship with God. It is also a moment of family and community celebration marking the beginning of a fuller life of faith.

Children are properly prepared, learning about the meaning of the Eucharist and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Preparation is for one year, Saturdays from 9 to 11 am.

2025-2026 registration is now available.

Requirements:

• age 8 years to 15 years
• Birth Certificate
• Baptismal Certificate
