first holy communion

At the Last Supper, Jesus instituted the Eucharist as a spiritual gift to all the Faithful. When we take part in the Holy Mass and the Eucharist, we receive the Body and Blood of Christ in a special way. As third grade First Communicants, we take a very important step in our journey of Faith. 

Second and third grade Religion classes as well as the Sacrament of Reconciliation prepare us to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. Then, we are privileged to partake in Communion for the rest of our lives! This year we learn about the Mass and attend with our family. We learn prayers and hymns to praise God. 

We are pleased to announce that First Holy Communion for Third graders will take place on Saturday April 22, 2022 at 10:30am.  Call time for students is 10am SHARP in the Hall. 

FIRST COMMUNION REHEARSAL:  date to be decided AT 6:30PM SHARP!

BOYS: White dress shirt,   Khaki/Tan pants,   Navy blue/Black blazer/suit jacket, TIE of any color, socks of any color, appropriate shoes (“boat shoes” are fine). I have some white ties if anyone would like one.

GIRLS: white or ivory dress, veil optional, flowers or crown optional, appropriate white or ivory shoes, stockings or ankle socks. Please NO gloves, rosaries, purses, corsages, Bibles. 

Our goal is a springtime, reusable, and uniform look.  Feel free to borrow clothing and visit consignment stores...no one should go broke dressing their child for this day.
