The Eucharist–instituted by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper–is at the core of the Mass. Jesus Christ, Body and Blood, Soul & Divinity, becomes truly present (John 6: 51-58). At the Last Supper, sharing His Body and Blood with the disciples, Jesus said, “Do this in memory of me” – and so we do, through Holy Communion.

First CommunionFirst Communion preparation is offered to those parents whose children (usually second grade but may be older) are ready to receive Holy Communion. Preparation will begin in October. Materials are provided to assist parents and children in preparing for their First Communion. Parents and children have several opportunities to gather for learning, prayer, and celebration in addition to the regular Faith Formation process. (Preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation is necessary before preparation for First Communion). Transfiguration School Children in Grade 2 are automatically registered.
