To prepare for First Communion, a child must have (1) received the Sacrament of Baptism, (2) be at least 7 years of age, (3) have completed one year of religious instruction prior to enrollment in the First Communion class, and (4) regularly attend Sunday Mass with his/her family.  Preparation for First Communion requires cooperation between the pastor, teachers and parents.  The First Communion class is part of the CCD Program.
