First Eucharist

The most helpful preparation for all students is the example and practice of their parents, to live a conscious Christian life at home, of prayer, reading the Scriptures, striving to follow God's law, weekly participation in Sunday Eucharist, expressing sorrow for sin and readily granting forgiveness, and regular celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, both individually and at communal celebrations.

Note that students need to prepare for and celebrate First Reconciliation before First Eucharist.

We invite anyone who missed the First Eucharist Retreat in the Spring to register for a retreat on July 18th above. This will be a mini version of the retreat in the spring as families will be given banner materials to take home to complete.

Features of the Program:

• Exploring Sacred Space - a tour of the Church, to enhance children’s understanding of the parish church as a sacred place in which we celebrate God’s Word and Sacraments.
• Receiving Bread - to gain understanding of the significance of the Body and Blood of Christ, and the way they are received at Mass.
• Creating Banners - to strengthen their sense of belonging by engaging in activities with other First Eucharist families, and to commemorate First Eucharist.

Retreats will begin in the Church!
