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
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.
First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion: A Two-Year Process
The standard preparation process at Holy Apostles is to complete one year of 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 First Holy Communion class. For example, first grade formation is to be completed here or at another parish before enrolling in second grade plus the First Holy Communion classes.
