Preparing for First Communion generally takes place beginning around age 7-8 for children who have been participating in parish life and the Faith Formation Program at St. Blase. The process includes four workshops offered January - April for children and their parents. These four workshops are designed to foster a greater understanding of the mystery of the Eucharist and to support the faith formation already happening in the home and in the Faith Formation Program. Please arrive at these four Eucharist Parent-Child Workshops 10 minutes before starting time.
