Children typically celebrate First Holy Communion around 7 or 8 years of age (the age of reason),
or another age after that as the child is ready.

If you would like to help your child prepare for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion,
please contact Anna Larzalere or Karen Smith for more information.

Knowing that the hour          had come to leave this world and return to the Father, in the course of a meal he washed their            feet and gave them the commandment of love. In order to leave them a pledge of this love,                in order never to depart from his own and to make them sharers in his Passover, he instituted            the Eucharist as the memorial of his death and Resurrection, and commanded his apostles to              celebrate it until his return..."
