The Eucharist is essential for us:
it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.

                                                                                         ~ Pope Francis

First Eucharist preparation typically begins in the fall.  Our group is usually comprised of children in grade 2, but we have included children through grade 4.  First Eucharist preparation also includes preparation for First Reconcilliation. 

Your child will be required to be in a catehchism program,either through St. Joseph School or through St. Joseph's Building the Domestic Church program.  The First Reconcilliation and Eucharist preparation will consist of additional reading and prayer materials for families to do at home together, and a few simple, lovely, low key events at the parish throughout the year.
