First Holy Communion
Faith Formation Covid-19 2020-2021 School Year Plan
The Holy Eucharist is, the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “the source and summit of the Christian life.” From its earliest days the Church has taught that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist. Catholics believe the Eucharist to be the very Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis has called the Eucharist the "Sacrament of Love":
"The Eucharist is at the heart of 'Christian initiation', together with Baptism and Confirmation, and it constitutes the source of the Church’s life itself. From this Sacrament of love, in fact, flows every authentic journey of faith, of communion, and of witness."The most important way to encounter Jesus Christ present in the Eucharist is to attend and fully participate in the Holy Mass. Parents and catechists prepare children for the reception of this great gift of the Eucharist. Children usually make their First Holy Communion in 2nd Grade. Sacrament preparation starts with Family participation in Total Lifelong Catechesis (TLC) and includes additional weekly Monday Classes and Learning Centers. Special arrangements are made for older students who have not received this Sacrament. The First Holy Communion Mass is celebrated each Spring, typically, on the last Sunday in April.
A First Communion and First Reconciliation Parent and Child Informational Meeting is Monday, September 14, 2020 at 6:00 pm.
We are prepared to make necessary accommodations for our faith formation offerings due to the ever-changing needs during these challenging times.
