First Holy Communion Schedule for 2020-2021
Due to the CoronaVirus, the children celebrated their First Holy Communion at a regular Saturday Vigil Mass or at a regular Sunday Mass. Each family chose which day and Mass worked best for their family. Some children celebrated on May 24th at the 9:30 Mass, while most of the other children celebrated at the 5:30 pm Mass on Saturday June 6th and the 9:30 am Mass on Sunday June 7th with a few children waiting for another time. We all keep the children in our prayers as they enjoy recieving the blessed and graces from celebrating the beautiful sacrament of Holy Communion.
How do we prepare for First Holy Communion?
Baptized children 7 yrs old to 18 yrs old: Must attend Catholic Faith Formation classes through: St. Mary Parish Religious Education (2nd Grade or higher), St. Mary Catholic School, Holy Trinity Catholic High School or be Home Schooled. In addition, the student and parent(s) need to attend specific meetings during the school year for further group instruction. 2nd Grade students celebrate First Holy Communion together in the Spring. 3rd Grade – 12th Grade may celebrate separately in the Spring.
