First Eucharist


Prior to preparing for the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, First Eucharist or Confirmation, the Diocese of Richmond requires that families have completed registration, be regularly attending weekend Mass and be active in the life of the parish.  See below for particular information.

 

First Eucharist:  Children usually are in second or third grade for this preparation.  Classes are ordinarily held after New Year’s.   Parents and children attend classes.  Celebration of First Communion is the time of Easter, one weekend  at usual Sunday Masses.  Families must be attending BLAZE and have been in Religious Education for the year prior to their Sacrament prep year in order to enroll in this preparation for this Sacrament of initiation.
