The Holy Eucharist is the Sacrament that contains the body and blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ under the forms of bread and wine.

​Children: Two-Year Program

Children eligible for First Holy Communion must take classes from September to May, which also includes the Sacrament of Confession. To find out more, click here - First Reconciliation & First Communion (Youth)     ​

Adults:

Adults must attend the Order of Christian Initiation classes, which begin in mid-September and conclude at Easter. These classes focus on the Sacraments of Initiation and provide time for reflection on the decision to enter the Catholic Church. Upon completing the classes, adults will be eligible to receive their First Holy Communion during the Easter Vigil. 

If you find yourself in a unique situation, such as being part of a schismatic group, please reach out to the Cathedral to speak with a clergy member. They can guide you on how to achieve full communion with the Church. To learn more, click here.. Becoming Catholic-Adult
