The Sacrament of Eucharist is celebrated for the first time with our youngsters in Second Grade, usually during the Easter Season. Those children in Jesus the Good Shepherd School are catechized in their religion classes in preparation of this sacrament. The children who attend non-Catholic schools are catechized in their weekly Faith Enrichment/PSR (Parish School of Religion) classes. First Reconciliation (First Confession) is held prior to Eucharist a short time before First Communion.
If your child is in one of these programs, you will be provided with information about this sacrament. If your child is not in one of these programs, or if your child is older than Second Grade and has not yet made his First Communion, please contact the church office and we will be more than happy to assist you at 325-7549.
First Communion classes for students not attending Catholic schools are help on Wednesday evenings from 5:45-7:30PM. Dinner will be provided for students at 5:45 in Moore Hall.
First Communion for the 2017/18 year will be on Sunday, May 6, 2018 at 11:00 Mass. There will be a mandatory practice prior to this date on Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at 6:00PM
