First Communion

Children receive their First Communion in Grade 3. Communion is a shared sacrament within the faith community, and in preparation, Corpus Christi provides resources and faith and fellowship for parents/guardians on the Eucharist and Reconciliation before their children’s first reception of these Sacraments.

As the primary educators of their children, parents/guardians have the first and most important influence on faith development. Parent/child participation in First Reconciliation/First Eucharist deepens their understanding and love of the sacraments, helping families to experience fuller participation in our Catholic community worship.

The Parish offers sacramental preparation as part of the Faith Formation program for children. In this environment, children learn along with their peers in an age appropriate and dynamic program. This program is designed to enhance and complement that which they are learning at home with their parents. There are also opportunities for the whole family to come together with other families who are on this journey so that they may share this experience together and grow in faith in community with one another.
