Through the Sacrament of Communion, one receives the Eucharist. As Catholics, we believe that through the celebration of the Eucharist, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. By eating the Body and drinking the Blood of Christ in the Eucharist, we become united with Christ.
We welcome you and thank you for choosing St. Frances of Rome to help you prepare your child to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Communion! We are excited to journey with your family towards these sacraments of initiation.
Our two year process is designed to share the Gospel message of Jesus with the children and families of our parish so that together they can dive deeper into the incredible gifts God gives us - Reconciliation and the Eucharist.
It is our hope that by shifting from focusing on “content about Christ” to “encounters with Christ as a family” and by encouraging prayer, bible time, rituals, service, and faith conversations in the home that families will encounter Jesus together and develop the faith skills needed to sustain a lifelong development of faith within the family.
A través del Sacramento de la Comunión, uno recibe la Eucaristía. Como católicos, creemos que a través de la celebración de la Eucaristía, el pan y el vino se convierten en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesucristo por el poder del Espíritu Santo y la instrumentalidad del sacerdote. Al comer el Cuerpo y beber la Sangre de Cristo en la Eucaristía, nos unimos a Cristo.
