The Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.
What do I have to do to have my child receive the Eucharist at St. Boniface?
Generally you need to be a participating registered member of the parish community of St. Boniface. Parents should register children ages five and older for Religious Education classes to prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist (First Holy Communion). Registration for these classes begins every July, and classes run from September to May.
The office staff will assist you with any questions or you may call 954-432-2750 for more information.
Children preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion and their families must be ready for the following commitment:
- The most important preparation is the parents’ example of attending Mass with the family on a weekly basis.
- At least two years of preparation.
- Regular attendance at classes.
- Parent involvement at home.
- Basic understanding of the Sacraments.
- Attendance of parents at scheduled meetings.
- Attendance of parents or students at retreats.
