The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith and so we are excited to help your child prepare for this sacrament! Receiving this sacrament takes the gift of your time as it is a two-year process. Baptized Catholic children may receive this sacrament as early as the spring of 2nd grade or above, provided that they have been participating in faith formation for their second consecutive year (i.e. regular attendance at faith formation during two consecutive years).
