"[Jesus] took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.'"
– Luke 22:19
In First Holy Communion (the "Sacrament of Love," as Pope Francis calls it), children receive the Eucharist—source and summit of our faith—for the first time. When your child receives Jesus in the Eucharist, it is an event of great joy for your family and for the whole Christian community.
Children typically celebrate First Communion in second grade, although we understand that families may have special needs that require other circumstances. Please contact us to discuss your child's needs.
