Students entering the First Communion program should be at least 7 years old and in the 2nd grade or higher. Catechesis for these students should begin at least one year prior to entering the sacramental year. Older children and adolescents wishing to receive the sacrament of First Communion are enrolled in a separate class with their peers. First Communion classes are held during the regular religious education time and parental involvement is strongly encouraged.
Welcome parents! I'll be posting links to resources to help your children learn more and more about receiving the body of the Lord Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament of Holy Eucharist.
Dynamic Catholic Blessed series of digital films on First Communion are a great place to start. If you need a set of DVDs, I have numerous copies donated by parishioners. Families are welcome to take them home for viewing. Simply contact me.
