First Communion
Some Preparation Notes Before Considering the Reception of Eucharist for Children for the First Time
Questions:
1. Do you and your family pray on a regular basis? Together? Alone?
2. Do you and your family talk about the Catholic Faith? Do you need some direction?
3. Do you and your family attend Mass on a regular basis?
4. What do these questions have to do about receiving First Communion?
Faith in God and a relationship with Jesus begins in the home. The love of God is experienced for the first time usually at home. If we recognize the beauty of nature, the gifts from God we have received, then you're on the right path. If your children are exposed to stories of faith from a parent, a children's bible, a grandparent, then they are ready to build their relationship with Christ and grow closer to Him through the Sacraments.
