The First Holy Communion program is an opportunity for families to reflect together on their experience of Eucharist and to prepare children for a deeper level of participation.

Parents should contact our faith formation office for details on preparation for First Holy Communion.

The recommended age for First Eucharist is second grade. The following are some criteria to help you determine whether your child should prepare for First Eucharist:

• Has your child been participating in Sunday Mass on a regular basis?
• Has your child been participating in religious education classes through Catholic school or the parish religious education programs?
• Is your child beginning to know the responses and prayers at Mass?
• Is prayer a regular part of your child’s life?
• Does your child exhibit the capacity for reverence that is necessary for sharing in the Eucharistic banquet?

Adults, please contact our RCIA coordinator, Maurine Dailey, at 586-725-2441 ext. 38  for information regarding the RCIA process.
