First Eucharist

Sacrament Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist at Holy Infant involves:

• Participation in parish life, particularly regular attendance at Sunday Mass.
• Participation in the faith formation process at least one year immediately prior to the year during which the Sacraments will be celebrated.
• Faith formation at home, aided by materials provided.
• Participation in First Eucharist Retreat. 

Children typically prepare for and celebrate the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist when they are in the second grade or older.  Since preparation is a 2-year process, children begin preparation in 1st grade, and celebrate First Eucharist in the spring of 2nd grade.
