Family Catechesis for First Eucharist at St. Linus Parish

by Cheryl Antos, DRE at St. Linus in Oak Lawn

We have a process of preparation for First Reconciliation in the fall of the year, with an initial parent/child meeting in September.  Children are invited to an Enrollment Mass in October, where a special blessing is made over the children and their families as they embark on their preparation for both sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.

For First Eucharist, we hold an initial meeting in January right after the New Year.  This meeting comprises of a simple understanding of meal sharing and praying as a family.  Emphasis of the importance of Eucharist as the source and summit of faith life is also addressed.  This meeting is geared for parents, but the children are not excluded.
