First Solemn Communion
First Solemn Communion is an important step in our spiritual lives. It is the first opportunity for a child to learn about, and fully participate in, the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist on their own.
Usually children are presented as infants to the Church to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Chrismation (aka Confirmation) and Eucharist . These children are then brought forward at each Divine Liturgy to continue receiving the Body and Blood of Christ by their parents, God-parents, or grand-parents. When they become old enough to understand the basic truths of the faith and to recognize the meaning of their own actions, (usually grade 2) they are prepared to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and then approach the Holy Eucharist, no longer being brought forth, but on their own.
AGE: Children 7 & 8 with parent participation
DESCRIPTION: This is a program to teach children (and their families) about God, His Church, and the Sacraments. It prepares children to celebrate their first Confession, and their First Solemn Communion, teaching them what Life with Christ is about, and to encourage them to take more responsibility for their own spiritual well being.
