Holy communion is a special gift that Jesus gave to his church. It is a vital part of our church life. It gives us great comfort and strength. It unites us as one big church family. It celebrates all that Jesus has done for us.
Our First Communion class invites parents to share in their child’s journey as they learn more about holy communion, and prepare to receive this special meal for the first time. It has been designed to complete four lessons together in your homes as well as two group sessions with other parents and children preparing for first communion. We also recommend you find other adult mentors, such as their godparents, who can journey with your child as they embark on this part of their faith journey.
Children 10+ years old are invited to enroll in First Communion.
