Celebrating
First Reconciliation & Eucharist​

"The Eucharist is such a great gift. That's why going to Mass is so important. Going to Mass not just to pray, but to receive Communion the Bread and Body of Christ He saves us, forgives us and he makes us one with the Father. How beautiful!”  -Pope Francis
2nd Grade-First Reconciliation/Eucharist use the publications, Signs of Grace. Lessons take place during our regular Wednesday Night Faith Formation classes. Please contact Erin Guthrie, DRE, for more information regarding the program: 319-624-2228 | [email protected]



​The most important way...  
​to prepare your son/daughter for his/he  First Eucharist, is to take part in the weekly celebration of Mass.  
The Mass is God’s most profound way of entering into the lives of his people.  It is something God does.  He invites us to participate in, to celebrate with, to be nourished by and be sent forth to build his kingdom.

​Children learn...
​ through the observation of the most important people in their lives – their parents.  What is important, meaningful and life-giving to the parents becomes the same to their children.  

What is your child's observation of your family’s celebration of Mass? Gathering regularly at the table of the Lord, reverently receiving our Lord in the Eucharist, going in peace to love and serve others, living the message of the Gospel?

If you have been away – the Lord invites you to His table.  Please come, please join us.
