The Sacrament of Eucharist is the preeminent sacrament from which all others have meaning. In the Eucharist, Christ is most profoundly present in the Church, which gathers to hear the Word of God and to share the nourishment of Christ's Body with one another.
As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour.
Holy Rosary Catholic School second graders receive sacramental preparation for First Eucharist during the school day. Second graders who do not attend Holy Rosary Cathoic School receive preparation outside of school hours and should be scheduled through the Parish Office.
