"Let your Spirit come upon these gifts to make them holy, so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Grant that we, who are nourished by his body and blood, may be filled with his Holy Spirit, and become one body, one spirit in Christ." - Eucharistic Prayer
The day of first Holy Communion is the beginning of a new journey with Jesus. Beginning on this day, we are able to receive the Body and Blood of Christ, the Real Presence of Jesus, every day if we so choose. We are certainly encouraged to partake of this sacred feast at least weekly. As we do so, we participate in a special grace that helps us in our daily walk through life. Eucharist also helps us to understand that our walk with Jesus is truly a journey of life that never ends.
Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion at Pax Christi is accomplished through a combination of home and parish preparation sessions. Pax Christi is unique because we offer options for children preparing for their sacraments
A Parent Orientation for both First Reconciliation and First Communion is in September. All children 2nd grade and older are invited to prepare for these Sacraments.
Adults wishing to receive first Eucharist at Pax Christi should see the RCIA page.
