Eucharist

First Eucharist

          Children
Children in the second grade attending the parish religious education program or St. Brendan school are prepared during the catechetical year to receive First Communion. In addition to the classes, parents and children attend one meeting in the fall for catechesis on the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

The child may receive Eucharist for the first time during one of two Solemn celebrations that are traditionally held the first Saturday and Sunday of May at 3:00 p.m. or during a Family Liturgy. Families who choose a Family Liturgy may select any of the regularly scheduled Saturday 5:30 p.m. Masses or Sunday liturgies starting with the first Saturday after Easter and Ending in May.

Older children will be prepared for the sacrament separately. A twelve week course will be offered during the catechetical year in order to prepare the child or teen for the Sacrament of Eucharist. Please contact the Religious Education Office (614-876-9533) for more information.
