First Holy Communion

A Child’s First Encounter with the Eucharist

First Holy Communion is a sacred milestone in the life of a Catholic, marking the first time a person receives the Eucharist. At St. Mary Star of the Sea, we guide children and their families through preparation that deepens their understanding of the Mass, the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and the importance of living a life rooted in faith. Our program combines prayer, instruction, and family involvement to ensure that each child celebrates this sacrament with reverence, joy, and a heart open to God’s grace.
