The celebration of First Eucharist is a great joy for families and the parish. The preparation for children begins after their preparation for First Reconciliation.

Children must be at least seven years of age and be baptized. They must be registered at either St. Joseph or St. John  and must currently be enrolled in our Faith Formation program or an accredited Catholic School. 

Children enrolled in Catholic schools must prepare for the sacrament at the parish where they are registered; preparation does not take place at the school.

Please contact Amy Spessard amy.spessard@stjohn-frederick.org to inquire about the preparation for this sacrament.
