First Reconciliation and Eucharist

We are honored to invite the children to prepare for Eucharist, a Sacrament of Initiation. There are few moments in life that are remembered so tenderly as First Communion. Eucharist is about gathering at the Lord’s table where all are welcome to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. Weekly, we gather with the community to be renewed in our faith, challenged and encouraged by the Word, nourished and strengthened by the Body and Blood of Christ. At the heart of the Sacrament of Reconciliation is the recognition that human beings always stand within the call to grace.

Students celebrating First Eucharist in second grade must have been enrolled at St. Barnabas Catholic School or in Religious Education in first grade. There is a Eucharist fee of $30.00 per child. For further details, please contact the Religious Education Office, 773-445-3450. (Click here for First Eucharist Information Sheet)
