Your parish family here at St. Bernard's rejoices in the day that your little one recieves the Eucharist for the first time. This is indeed not just a special occasion for your child but for our entire community.
The Eucharist is, as the Second Vatican Council reminds us, the source and summit of our Christian lives because in it we receive the fullness of Jesus Christ in his body and blood, soul and divinity. Therefore we have a special obligation to ensure that every person wishing to receive the Eucharist is properly formed in the faith of the Church.
We have included the requirements for children who wish to receive First Holy Communion in our parish below (If you are an adult please see the R.C.I.A. page here):-
Your child must have been baptized in the Catholic Church
-
We invite you and your family to attend Mass regularly each week
-
If your child is not enrolled in a Catholic School, your child must participate in the Faith Formation Program in the parish
-
You and your child must attend the First Holy Communion Preparation Program
-
Your child should know how to:
-
Make the sign of the cross
-
Recite the Lord's Prayer
-
Recite the Hail Mary Prayer
-
Recite the Glory Be Prayer
-
Recite the Act of Contrition
