The Holy Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself. —Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324
First Communion for Children
As we (Holy Apostles and the parents) begin this journey together, it is important to think about your role in giving the gift of the Catholic Faith to your children. This parish is here to support you, but it is the parents who have the greatest impact on a child’s faith. 2nd – 5th grade children may be enrolled in class to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. If your child is older than 5th grade, please contact Peggy for more information.
