First Communion
All people above the age of reason, age 7, are eligible to receive their First Communions following a year of study. St. Jude of the Lake Catholic School and Family Faith Formation students receive their instruction during class periods. Children are required to:
- Attend class weekly
- Attend our Reconciliation Retreat
- Receive Reconciliation prior to their First Holy Communion
- Attend our First Eucharist Retreat
- Submit a Baptismal certificate
"Every celebration of the Eucharist is a ray of light of the unsetting sun that is the Risen Jesus Christ. To participate in Mass, especially on Sunday, means entering in the victory of the Risen, being illuminated by his light, warmed by his warmth.”
