The Sacrament of First Eucharist
First Eucharist - Eucharist is Greek word meaning "to give thanks." It is a celebration of
Christ's gifts - especially the gift of worshipping God the Father as a community. Eucharist
has held a central place of prominence in the Church for nearly 2,000 years. Every time we
gather for Eucharist, we take part in the great mystery of faith. We believe that this sacred
bread and wine are the body and blood of Jesus. When we eat his body and drink his
blood, we will have eternal life. It's not mere symbolism.

The Sacrament of First Eucharist is celebrated by children who are 7-8 years of age, and by
adults who enter the Church through RCIA following a period of preparation.  Adults
wishing to learn more about becoming Catholic should
contact the church office for more
information. Parents interested in have then children participate in CCD may contact the
church office for CCD schedules and contact information.

He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying,
"This is my body which is given up for you. Do this in memory of me."
Luke 22:19
