Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal.
We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive
Christ's Body and Blood, we are also nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.

First Reconciliation and Eucharist
A child who has reached the age of reason (7 years old) and is in the 2nd grade may be eligible for preparation for First Reconciliation and Eucharist. Mandatory meetings for parents occur throughout the year.
Parents are the primary educators and are expected to prepare their child at home. In addition, candidates must be enrolled in our Parish School of Religion or attend St. Patrick School, and present proof of baptism.
