Holy Eucharist
Those who were baptized in the Catholic Church as infants are to be led to eucharistic communion when they reach the use of reason (generally the age of seven). Enrollment in a parish CCD program should occur in grade one when suitable formation is begun to augment the formation that occurs within the Christian family. In the second year of parish CCD programs, children are considered candidates for First Holy Communion.
At St. Benedict the Abbot Church, First Eucharist is celebrated during the Easter season. Students must successfully complete two years of religious education prior to reception of First Eucharist. Attendance at Mass is assumed.
Communion to the sick is done by request. Call the office to place a name on the list.
