Communion - The Holy Eucharist
-
-
”Let us ask ourselves, in adoring Christ who is really
present in the Eucharist: do I let myself be transformed by him? Do I let the Lord who gives himself to me, guide me to going out ever more from my little enclosure, in order to give, to share, to love him and others? Brothers and sisters, following, communion, sharing. Let us pray that participation in the Eucharist may always be an incentive: to follow the Lord every day, to be
instruments of communion and to share what we are with him and with our neighbor. Our life will then be truly fruitful”.~Pope Francis

At St. Austin Catholic Church and in the Diocese of Austin the formal preparation of children for the Sacrament of First Communion generally occurs when they are seven years old. It involves ongoing participation in the regular parish Faith Formation program provided for all families and children or attendance at a Catholic School. Parental involvement is essential.
This particular preparation is designed with the understanding that the child has received basic faith formation through previous involvement in a structured first grade Religious Education Program at St. Austin Catholic Church or another Catholic Church or school.
In order to celebrate the sacrament, your child must:-
Be baptized in the Catholic Church. If your child was not Baptized at St. Austin we will need copy of your child's Baptismal Certificate.
-
Have attended a Faith Formation program or Catholic school during all of the previous school year.
-
Be enrolled in Faith Formation, or Catholic School and participate regularly. Your child cannot have no more than 4 absences during the year.
Please learn more in Faith Formation about First Eucharist for adults or older children or contact Rachel Vaughn for more information.
