Holy Eucharist

At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet 'in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.

First Holy Communion

Because the Eucharist is the source and summit of the Catholic Christian life, catechetical preparation is essential prior to the celebration of the conferral of the Sacrament. The responsibility for this preparation lies first and foremost with the parents, then the pastor, who may delegate this role to the pastoral minister of Faith Formation, and lastly the responsibility lies with the entire Faith Community.

First Holy Communion is ususally offered to those in at least 2nd grade. Preparation classes for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Communion begin in September. Please contact the church office to register your child.
