First Holy communion
The risen Jesus is present with us at Mass. He shares with us the gift of his Body and Blood.
At Mass, we receive the gift of the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion. Sharing Holy Communion joins us more closely with Jesus Christ and with all the members of His church. We are made one with Jesus and with each other.
Preparation for First Holy Communion is a 2-year process. Children are required to have attended Catholic School or a Parish Religious Education Program for two consecutive years before they make their First Communion. Children who do not attend Christ the King Catholic School should attend the Parish Religious Classes on Sundays from 10:00-11:30 AM.
