At Mary Immaculate, and in the Catholic Church, the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Faith. In receiving the Eucharist, we are given bread for the journey. If you are interested in receiving First Communion, we want to help you prepare to receive these Sacramental graces.

At Mary Immaculate, we eagerly prepare those who are interested in receiving First Holy Communion. The preparation of the sacraments of First Communion and First Reconciliation (confession) is a two year process from September to May each year.

We want to journey with you, and can’t wait to meet your family. To ensure that we are meeting you where you are at, registration is in-person at our Faith Formation office.
