Eucharist
The source and summit of the Christian life
The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. The other Sacraments, and the entire work of the Church, are directed toward it. For in the Most Holy Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ Himself, body, blood, soul, and divinity.

Children typically receive First Reconciliation and First Communion in 2nd grade. To enroll your child in 2nd grade sacramental preparation, please visit our youth faith formation page.
All children must register for First Communion preparation through the parish. regardless of where they attend school.
-Students who attend Catholic School, or homeschool program that includes relgious instruction, still need to register for preparation with the parish and will be asked to fulfill the same preparation requirements for First Communion. However, the religious instruction received at school does satisfy some of those requirements. St. Patrick School families should consult the school-specific First Communion prep information for more details about what their child’s preparation will entail.
