For ChildrenArchdiocesan policy states that formal instruction for the Sacrament of Eucharist should be separate and distinct from preparation for first reception of Reconciliation so that the integrity of each sacrament is maintained. Parents have a right and a duty to be intimately involved in preparing their child for the Sacrament of Eucharist. They should continue their own growth in faith, model Christian practices and frequently and regularly participate in Sunday Eucharist.
Children wishing to receive Eucharist for the first time will:-
Be in the second grade or higher
- Child must actively participated in faith formation (parish, school, homeschool) for at least one year immediately before going through the preparation process.
- Child must be actively participating in faith formation (parish, school, homeschool) while going through the preparation process.
