What is First Communion?
First Communion is the first reception of the Eucharist—the real presence of Christ under the form of bread and wine. It is a profound moment of grace, introducing the faithful to a life nourished by the sacrament of the altar.
Often celebrated during childhood, this sacrament is the fruit of preparation that opens the heart to the mystery of the Mass and the love of Christ. It is not just a milestone but a beginning: the start of a life lived in communion with God and His Church.
The celebration is typically held during a special Mass, surrounded by family, the parish community, and great joy.
