First Communion

- September 16, 2024
  
  First Confession and First Communion
  
  Dear Parents and Guardians:
  
  For those who are new to the parish, welcome! Greetings from the St. Bernard Parish sacramental team. As Catholics, we know that the Holy Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. Pope Francis said, "The Eucharist is at the heart of Christian initiation, together with Baptism and Confirmation, and it constitutes the source of the Church's life itself. From this Sacrament of love, in fact, flows every authentic journey of faith, of communion, and of witness (General Audience, 5 February 2014)."
  
  Sacramental preparation will begin with an information meeting, have three sessions, and conclude with First Confession. Those unable to attend a session must arrange a makeup session with the Pastor. You can choose which Mass on 3/4 May 2025 that you would like to attend for First Communion.
