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.
