Eucharist

- Sacraments

Each year our parishes invite parents and children to begin preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Eucharist. These are important celebrations for the parish, your family and your child, and thus requires proper preparation. This will be an opportunity for them to experience the wonderful gift of God’s love and forgiveness and the gift of Christ’s presence in the Eucharist at Mass.

The preparation for these Sacraments will begin in November culminating with your child’s First Reconciliation in January, and their First Communion after Easter.

The program and the preparation process will be explained in greater detail at the first Session on Wednesday, November 9th at 7 pm. This meeting will be at Holy Name of Jesus Parish. It is important that you submit your registration form prior to the meeting. Please fill out the form below to register your child for their First Reconciliation and First Communion.

First Eucharist Preparation Sessions are on:
February 20, March 6 & 20, April 3 & 17 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm at Holy Name of Jesus Church.

Prior to their reception of the Eucharist, your child will be given an opportunity to celebrate their First Reconciliation. This is a wonderful way to prepare to receive the Lord’s Body and Blood.

As in the past, the children will receive the Eucharist for the first time with their families at one of the parish Masses after Easter.  You may choose any of our weekend Mass times. As well, a copy of your child’s Baptismal Certificate is required by our office if the baptism occurred in a parish other than those belonging to our Family of Parishes.

These sacraments are a great gift given to us by Christ. This gift is meant not only for your child, but for your entire family. To help your child understand the importance of these sacraments in their lives, actively attending weekend Mass as a family is crucial. As parents, at your child’s baptism, you vowed to be the primary educator of the faith for your children. It is by your example of actively living the faith that your children will grow up with an appreciation for how God works in their lives, particularly through the Church and her Sacraments.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
