Sacrament of the Eucharist
Typical Age for First Holy Communion Preparation
Children are usually ready to receive their First Holy Communion around the age of 7.
Signs your child may be ready include:
- A developmentally appropriate understanding that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist
- Regular Mass attendance with parents on Sundays and Holy Days
- Participation in Faith Formation for at least one year
