Students must be baptized and have received the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Traditionally in our diocese, First Communion is celebrated in 2nd grade as long as the child has been in religious education classes since kindergarten or first grade or is enrolled in Xavier Catholic Schools. If a child has not been in any religious education class, then they must complete 2 years of Religious Education before receiving First Eucharist.
Regular attendance at Sunday Mass with family is expected for each child preparing to receive First Eucharist.IMPORTANT
First Communions will take place during 3 designated Sundays ONLY. Families may choose what Mass they will attend during the designated Sundays.
