Eucharist
The Sunday celebration of the Eucharist is the “source and summit” for our lives as Christians. Preparing children to come to the table of the Lord for the first time is a significant moment in their lives and the life of the community.
First Eucharist - 2nd Grade and older Adequate preparation will also support their spiritual growth and make it clear that as they are nourished by the Eucharist, they are called to feed and serve others around them. Children must be baptized before beginning preparation for this sacrament. A copy of your child’s baptism certificate will be needed if not baptized at Pax Christi.
Eucharist Preparation Schedule for 2010 Children who come to regular faith formation on Sunday or Wednesday generally participate in first Eucharist preparation at the same day/time. Those children in other program day/times may choose a Sunday or Wednesday preparation session.
