First Communion

"Holy Communion is the surest and safest way to heaven" as St. Pius X told the church. In Holy Communion the faithful receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ.

First Communion preparation normally happens when children are in second grade. During the year, children learn about creation, sin, and redemption. The year prepares them for receiving the sacrament of Confession in the winter before receiving their First Holy Communion a few months later. 

We have a lively religious education program that helps children to prepare, pray, and study as a group for these sacraments, but parents are also welcome to do all their children's sacramental catechesis at home.

Contact the Parish Office to inquire for more details about preparation and sacrament dates as well as to register your child for First Communion preparation.
