About Our First Eucharist Program:
At the heart of who we are as Catholics is the Eucharist. Signs, symbols, tradition, and anticipation all blend to create a true desire within our children to celebrate the mystery of transubstantiation.
At St. Joseph's, students begin preparing for First Eucharist in 1st grade or above.
Students, along with their parents, attend faith formation and preparation sessions with Catechists. Discipleship service, a retreat, participation in the Mass and special Liturgies are part of the education and preparation process. The sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated during Advent season and the sacrament of First Eucharist is celebrated during the Easter season.
*The First year of the Sacrament of First Eucharist program meets on Thursdays from 4:15-5:30 p.m. in the Parish Center.
*The Second year of the Sacrament of First Eucharist program meets for Religious Education on Thursdays from 4:15-5:30 and for preparation to receive the sacraments, on Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:30 a.m., in the Parish Center. All are required to attend Mass on Sundays.
