First communion

The Holy Eucharist refers to Christ’s living body and blood. When receiving the holy Eucharist, Jesus Christ literally becomes part of us and we are intimately united with Him and his Holy Catholic Church. Students will receive their first communion in the spring of second grade. Click here for information about First Communion at St. Pat’s.

For special circumstances or if you are an adult interested in receiving Sacraments or joining the Catholic Church call the parish office at 847-244-4161.
