First Eucharist
Grades 6-12
Through the Sacrament of the Eucharist, we are able to more closely Encounter Christ together and be spiritually fed and strengthened to Live as Disciples in our world.
The Journey
Youth Sacraments sessions at Prince of Peace prepare students in middle and high school to receive the sacraments of Baptism and/or First Eucharist.
This journey of AT LEAST 2 consecutive years is a combination of age-appropriate faith formation, family meetings, and sacramental preparation. This allows teens time to learn their faith, have the desire to receive the sacraments and grow in their relationship with Christ and their parish community. Youth and parents’ participation at Mass is expected.
This registration does not include preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation. For more information on Youth Confirmation click here.
