Sacrament Prep – St. John – St. Paul Catholic Collaborative

We Are Celebrating First Holy Communion at the Family Mass!

In keeping with our Family Faith Formation model and the guidance of the Archdiocese of Boston, children now receive First Holy Communion with their families at a Sunday Mass – the same way they will receive the sacrament throughout their lives.

Last Sunday, we celebrated the sacrament with 11 children at the 9:00am Family Mass at St. Paul.

We will have groups of First Communicants receiving the Sacrament at our 9:00am Family Masses on May 3, May 10, and May 17.

Our regular 9:00am Mass congregants are encouraged to attend these Masses and witness this important moment in the lives of these children and families!

The Celebration of First Holy Communion at Our Parishes

Beginning this year, in keeping with our new Family Faith Formation model and the guidance of the Archdiocese of Boston, children will be receiving their First Holy Communion with their families at a Sunday Mass, the same way they will receive the sacrament throughout their lives. Groups of First Communicants will be receiving the Sacrament at our 9:00am Family Masses on April 26, May 3, May 10, and May 17. Several rows of pews in the center of the church will be reserved for the children and their families each Sunday as we celebrate this joyous occasion together as a parish family!

Our regular 9:00am Mass congregants are encouraged to attend these Family Masses and witness this important moment in the lives of these young children and families.
