The Most Holy Eucharist, Jesus fully present under the appearance of bread and wine, is the heart of Catholic belief and worship.
In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, communicants should not be conscious of grave sin, have fasted for one hour, and seek to live in charity and love. Persons conscious of grave sin must first be reconciled
with God and the Church through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
R.C.I.A. candidates customarily receive their First Communion on Holy Saturday at the Easter Vigil.
Grade 2 children make their First Communion in the spring, preparing throughout the school year to receive this sacrament. Please scroll below for faith formation resources to learn more about the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
