JESUS SAID TO THEM, ‘I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. WHOEVER COMES TO ME WILL NEVER BE HUNGRY, AND WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER BE THIRSTY.          -JOHN 6:35

Dear Parents, 
As you and your child continue to prepare at home for your child's 1st Holy Communion, we want to do all we can to provide resources to make the experience fun and engaging. Below you will find many ideas and opportuntinies.  The others are good suplements which may or may not work in your family situation. If you have multiple ages of children at home, maybe you can join them all in some of the activities and do some with only your child preparing for the Sacrament. Since there are so many unknowns we are still asking for the children to be prepared by the end of April. 

• This video covers the basic theology of Eucharist including the scriptural reference. Parents who may want a refresher as you prepare your child this is good for you. Watch this with your child if you believe your child will find benefit in watching it. Sophia Sketchpad: The Eucharist
• Practice receiving on the hand and with the cup several times in the coming month. When masses are resumed and when your child received their 1st Holy Communion it will most likely only be the Body of Christ, but it would not hurt to teach them how to receive under both 'species' the Body and the Blood, so it fills out their understanding of Eucharist.
  •  Sacraments 101:Eucharist (how we receive)- may be helpful to you as parents. Watch before you use this with your child.
