First communion for children is celebrated after two years of preparation usually in the spring of the second grade. At which point first Eucharist children should know about the life of Jesus, the difference between communion and ordinary bread and wine, and show a desire to receive Christ. The teachings are handled in conjunction with our Family Faith Sharing program and parental involvement.
If you are older than the second grade or know someone who is older than second grade and in need of first communion, refer to our Formation page for more information.
