First Communion for Children
The Holy Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself.
—Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324
Families must be registered parishioners of Holy Apostles to enroll in Faith Formation programs.
If you aren’t yet registered as a parishioner, you can do so quickly and easily here.
First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion for Children is a Two-Year Process
The standard preparation process at Holy Apostles is to complete one year of Family Faith Formation before beginning preparation for the sacraments. After the first year, students are then to be enrolled in Formation classes AND a once-a-month 1st Communion class.
For Example, 1st-grade formation is to be completed here or at another Parish before enrolling in the 2nd-grade class and enrolling in a separate 1st communion class.
Second through fifth-grade children may be enrolled in class to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. If your child is older than 5th grade, please contact Peggy for more information.
TO REGISTER your child for 1st communion, please contact Peggy Armstrong at 719-484-8726 or parmstrong@holyapostlescc.org
