The Sacrament of the Eucharist is the source and summit of our lives lived in Christ. The Eucharist is the real presence of Jesus, who gave himself entirely for our sakes.  And so, as we receive Christ's Body and Blood at each Mass, we are nourished spiritually by his sacrifice and are brought closer to God.
 

First Communion

Typically, a child's First Communion is celebrated in Grade 2 in conjunction with their First Reconciliation.  Preparation and instruction are provided as part of our grade school curriculum or within our parish Faith Formation program.  If you have any questions, or if your child is beyond the second grade and still has yet to receive their First Communion, please call the office.

The sign up for 2025 1st Communion is open.  Please use this link to sign up for your preference.
