Throughout history, God has prepared His people to receive the gift of Christ in the Eucharist. The Eucharist is foreshadowed in Old Testament Scripture and is made explicit in the Gospels and epistles of the New Testament. We are united with Jesus as he gives himself to us as food and drink, and are reminded of his ultimate gift when he gave up his life for us for the forgiveness of our sins. We are called to grow with Christ, becoming transformed more into his likeness as we live as the "Body of Christ".
First Eucharist is the second Sacrament of Initiation within our Catholic Faith. First Eucharist is typically celebrated in grade 2, when children are 7 or 8 years old. Children prepare for Penance and Eucharist in our Religious Education program. For more information, please contact Alondra Ramos.
