PREPARATION:
- Please practice how to receive with your child using the document below as a guide. We will review this immediately before Mass begins.
Here is a fun short video that explains how to receive as well as what not to do!
- Since it has been a while since your child's preparation, if your child needs a refresher on who we are receiving and why, this is a wonderful, free video program from Dynamic Catholic that you can use at home as a review. There are 6 sessions and several short videos and resources per session. Sessions 4 and 5 are particularly focused on the Eucharistic Liturgy of the Mass and what it means to make your First Communion. Click here to access.
