First Reconciliation and Eucharist

"The Eucharist is 'the source and summit of the Christian life.' 'The other sacraments are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the who spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself."

Children preparing for their first Reconciliation and Eucharist must be baptized Catholic. Sacramental preparation is a two-year process, beginning in the First Grade. The celebrations of the sacraments occur in Second Grade. The same preparation process is provided to children in the Faith Development program and the parochial school.

For children at St. Thomas More School, contact your child's class teacher; for all others, contact Jim Hynes at 942-6237.
