Preparation for Eucharist

Planning and preparing for the sacrament of Eucharist is a wonderfully exciting time for both parents and child. The process is simple, yet will require your child's readiness and parental time as a gift to the child.

Families begin this preparation by enrolling their children in the Faith Formation Classes (Sunday School) and participating in the four Eucharistic Preparation Sessions scheduled in January (see Preparation dates below).
Parents and children attend all four classes.

Parents and child work on their First Eucharist Book, which the parents purchase. 
When families have decided the First Eucharist date, call Mary Greving to schedule the date. Date and time are your choice (but there are no First Eucharist's during Lent, except for Holy Thursday.) There will also be one Group First Communion. Date is given at the Eucharist preparation.

The Eucharistic Preparation Classes are held at the Parish Center from 7-8:30 PM.
Call the Parish Office at 763.544.3352 to register for the Preparation Classes.

Eucharist Class Dates: Wednesdays, January 9, 16, 23 and 30, 2019.

Please obtain a copy of your child's baptism certificate if they were not baptized at St. Joseph's and bring to the first class.
