Eucharist (Communion)​

Picture

First Communion for Children
Grades 1 through 8
2 half-day retreats with their parents

After a minimum of two consecutive years of the whole family participating in Faith Formation,  children in grades 2 through 8 who are ready to receive their First Reconciliation and First Communion, attend two half-day retreats with their parents to prepare for these holy sacraments.

First Communion for Youth
High School Teens

​We will provide individualized care in a small group setting to help you understand and prepare to receive the body and blood of Jesus through this sacrament. We meet with you initially to understand how best to help you on your journey. In general, teens who have not received their First Communion prepare for both First Communion and Confirmation at the same time.

Frist Communion for Adults​​
18+

The sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist (Communion) are called sacraments of initiation because we become members of the Catholic Church through them. We offer a gradual process by which adults prepare for and celebrate the sacraments of initiation.

99 young people received Jesus in communion for the very first time last weekend! May they, and all of us, be nourished by and respond to his love. Congratulations children and families on this milestone!
