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 30, 2022.  We may elect to have TWO Masses to accommodate all families.

Check back later for updates on First Holy Communion. Rehearsal will take place one evening the week prior to April 30th in the church.

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.
