Jesus gives himself to us
In the Holy Eucharist, Christ gives us his Body and Blood as spiritual food. The Eucharist is at the heart of Catholic life: we gather around the altar, hear the Word of God, and are nourished by the Lord so that we can live as his disciples.
First Holy Communion
Children preparing for First Communion are formed through our parish Faith Formation program. The preparation includes regular participation in Sunday Mass, catechesis, and the sacramental formation needed to receive the Eucharist with faith and understanding.
Adults who have not yet received First Communion are invited to contact the parish about OCIA or the appropriate adult sacramental preparation process.
