First Eucharist
June 2024
In the Diocese of St. Paul, anyone preparing for First Communion must already have had First Reconciliation AND Confirmation.
Parents/Guardians of children in the 2023-2024 group: If you have not already signed up for REMINd, please do so so you get updates! Text @f44be4 to (709)800-8931 or enter https://www.remind.com/join/f44be4.
First Eucharist Preparation Classes: April 27 and May 11 9:00-11:00. Children and a parent/guardian must attend both classes. Please bring colouring stuff, a glue stick and scotch (clear) tape. On April 27, if your chid has any type of jersey/team/school shirt, please have them wear it.
Your child will have the Sacrament of Reconciliation on June 1, @ 11:00 @ St. Dominic church, so that their hearts are prepared for receiving their First Communion. Like Reconcilation at the parish during Advent/Lent, this is not a celebration with readings; it is first come, first serve.
Celebration of the First Eucharist: Eucharist (Comunnion) is celebrated at every mass. Mass is a communal celebration. Therfore, our children celebrate their first Eucharist with our larger faith community during regular weekend masses. It is wonderful to have so many young ones celebrating this sacrament; because we have such a large gorup, we will have some children celebrate at each mass. During class on April 27, we will share a survey for you to indicate if your family would prefer to celebrate mass on:
June 1, 6:00pm, St. Dominic Church, OR
June 2, 10:00am, Our Lady of the Assumption Church
Spaces will be limited and we will do our best to accomodate your family's prefered date.
