Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst. ~John 6:35
First Eucharist for Children (First Communion)
The First Communion program at St. Norbert Church involves a two-year process that prepares your child to receive the sacrament of the Eucharist. The child must be in at least the 2nd grade to receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. The process requires 2 years for elementary children. Children can begin their formation at the earliest in the 1st grade.
This process includes a combination of parish life activities, gatherings with their peers, and parent-led sessions in your home. Our hope is to journey with your family as we learn about the Catholic faith together!!
NOTE: Godparents or sponsors are not required for the sacrament of first holy communion.
