Holy Communion

Holy Communion celebrates the living memorial of Christ’s sacrifice for the salvation of all and commemorates His last meal with His disciples. We receive the Eucharist which is the real body and blood of Christ and what appears to be bread and wine are actually the living body of Christ. Holy Communion is a sacrament of initiation into the Catholic Church and also the faith community which is Our Mother of Sorrows.

Preparation for First Holy Communion is a parish function, separate from school or faith formation. Preparation for children who will receive Holy Communion for the first time is done primarily at home with their parents.
At Our Mother of Sorrows Church, preparation generally begins with a meeting held during the winter months with a group celebration of the sacrament held during the month of May. Children are also encouraged to celebrate the sacrament individually at a regularly scheduled Liturgy.
