The Sacrament of Eucharist celebrates the reception of Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord, who seeks to dwell always in our hearts. The regular reception of this sacrament strengthens our bond with Christ and the community that gathers each weekend.

Children in grade 2, who are baptized or have made a profession of faith, begin preparation to receive the sacrament of Eucharist (Holy Communion) after having prepared for and celebrated the sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession). When the sacrament is received for the 1st time, we refer to it as the First Holy Communion celebration.

The sacrament of Confirmation completes the graces and the Blessings of the Holy Spirit received at Baptism. Through Confirmation, we are strengthened anew by the Spirit, so that we can live out the Christian life more fully.

The typical time for parishioners to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at Mary Immaculate is in Grade 8. Yet the preparation program itself is open to anyone above grade 8, who has already been baptized in the Church, and who has received his or her First Reconciliation and First Communion. The program is for adults seeking Confirmation as well.
