First Communion is a program designed to prepare children to receive the Holy Communion for the first time. This event typically occurs when children can understand basic concepts of faith. the program encourages children to grow in their faith, practice kindness, compassion, and develop a deeper relationship with God. The Communion program for kids is a foundational step in their spiritual education, focusing on understanding Catholic beliefs.
What Kids Learn in First Communion Classes
First Communion is a beautiful milestone in a child’s faith journey. In preparation, children spend weeks learning about the meaning behind this special sacrament. So—what exactly are they learning?
At the heart of it all is the Eucharist —the belief that the bread and wine at Mass become the body and blood of Jesus. Children learn about the Last Supper , where Jesus shared this sacred meal with His disciples, and how that moment is remembered every time we attend Mass.
They’re introduced to the structure of the Mass , understanding what happens during the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and how to participate in a respectful, meaningful way. Along the way, they practice important prayers like the Our Father and Hail Mary , and learn how to make the Sign of the Cross .
There’s also a gentle introduction to the sacraments , especially Reconciliation and Eucharist , along with the idea of grace —God’s life and love given freely to help us grow in holiness.
By the time they walk down the aisle in their First Communion attire, they’ve not only memorized prayers and practiced receiving the host—they’ve also come to understand that this moment is about Jesus’ love, presence, and their growing relationship with Him.
Some of Life's Valuable Lessons
Learning Forgiveness : Kids will also learn about the value of taking responsibility when they make mistakes. It’s about acknowledging missteps, making amends, and embracing a fresh start. These lessons help them grow into kind, thoughtful individuals who build strong, respectful relationships with those around them.
At the end of the day, it’s all about kindness, love, growing into awesome little humans, and a wonderful teaching moment.
