The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith. Through First Holy Communion, children receive Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament for the first time and become more fully united with Him and the Church community.
St. Jean Baptiste Parish invites children in Grade 3 or older and their families to prepare for this sacred milestone through prayer, learning, and active participation in parish life
