They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship,  

to the breaking of the bread and the prayers

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
  • If your child meets these criteria, please click the link below to register and receive updates on when Sacramental Preparation sessions will begin.

Please note: These sessions are in addition to regular Faith Formation. Before beginning First Communion preparation, both you and your child must first complete preparation for First Reconciliation.
