​The Sacrament of Communion 

Also known as the Eucharist, is the sacrament in which Catholic Christians receive the Body and Blood of Christ.  (MT 26:17-29, MK 14:12-25, LK 22:1-20, JN 6:52-60)

Homebound
If you, or a family member wish to receive the Eucharist, please call the Parish Office at 303-841-3750.

First Holy Communion

Preparation for First Holy Communion takes place in 2nd grade. Our Faith Formation classes are designed to prepare your 2nd grade student to receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. 

Children must be 7 years old, and in 2nd grade, catechized to grade level. Children should be enrolled in Faith Formation classes or Catholic School prior to the year of the sacrament. Parents will also be required to attend Parent meetings throughout the year. 
​
​To register your 2nd grade child visit our Faith Formation Sacrament page. 
Please contact Mary Buechler if you have any questions [email protected]
​
Sacrament Registration
Parents are the primary educators in the Faith life of your children. First Communion preparation begins by bringing them to Mass on Sundays and helping them to understand that the person of Jesus is present in the Eucharist.
​
​*If your child is not baptized or has not participated in Catholic Religious Education, please refer to the Rite of Christian Initiation.
Registration for First Sacraments will take place the fall.   A copy of baptism certificate will be required at that time.
