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 parents and children participate in the four required Eucharistic Preparation Sessions.

The family is responsible for purchasing the First Eucharist Book, and together the parents and child work on their assignments.

When families feel their child is ready, they determine and schedule the First Eucharist date by contacting the Director of Catechetics. Date and time are your choice; there are no First Eucharists during Lent, except for Holy Thursday). There will also be one Group First Communion date communicated at the Eucharist preparation.

The Eucharistic Preparation Classes are held at the Parish Center from 7:00p - 8:30p.

Call the Parish Office at 763.544.3352 to register for the Preparation Classes.

Eucharist Class Dates: Wednesdays, January 8, 15, 22, 29, 2020.

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.
