We are excited to soon celebrate First Eucharist ​with your family. Children in the second grade and up are invited to prepare for the celebration of this sacrament. First Eucharist preparation is a process that includes parent-guided learning, weekly participation in Mass, and additional group gatherings for communal preparation and dialogue. A registration fee provides student textbook, parent guide, and retreat programming. ​​Your child must have completed their First Reconciliation to be eligible for First Holy Communion in the spring.
