The Eucharist

Eucharist - the source and summit of our faith

The Eucharist is our Communion with God and with God’s People.  When Jesus gives his Body and Blood he is giving his life and his spirit.  Like a mother that nurtures the baby in her womb with her own body and blood, God nurtures and nourishes the church community, with Eucharist.

Reconciliation and Eucharist discernment begins during the Fall Semester.
  • Pre-requisites: at least one prior year of Church Life sessions
  • Requirements: candidates must be at least seven years of age by November 1st.

Once candidates have completed the pre-requisites and met the requirements, the discernment process can begin.  Formation for Eucharist will include mini-retreats, independent study and  small group gatherings for the candidate along with their parent(s)/guardians. We look forward to accompanying your family at this special time.
