First Communion / Primera Comunión
“This is my body, which will be given for you; Do this in memory of me”. Luke 22: 19-20
The sacrament of Holy Communion, also known as the Eucharist, is a sacred education for all Catholics. For children, their First Holy Communion is celebrated annually in late spring. In order to participate in the celebration of First Holy Communion, children need to attend weekly religious education classes for two years from September through May.
The education classes, also known as Catechism classes, help children attain the church requirements of knowledge and careful preparation to understand the mystery of Christ and receive the Body and Blood with faith and devotion.
