Holy Communion is the moment when we are intimately joined with Our Lord, and we can speak to him of all our concerns. It is a wedding banquet, in which we join in a one-flesh-union with Christ. Jesus said, 'Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you...whoever eats this Bread will live forever.'
Children normally receive their First Holy Communion when they are 7 years old. Our Religious Education program is a 2 year program, so they should begin when they are 6 years old. Children in the school will be prepared for their First Communion as part of the school religious formation. Homeschool families should contact the pastor.
ADULTS:
Adults who have yet to make their 1st Holy Communion enter into the RCIA classes that begin in the Fall. Contact the parish office for more information.-------------------------
Eucharistic Fast:
Mother Church requires that if we are to receive the Lord in Holy Communion, that we have confessed all serious sins, and that we fast for one hour before Holy Communion. This means no food or drink except water or medicine for one hour.
