Eucharist is our most important sacrament.  It is the heart of Catholic life and worship, because Christ is truly present as food for us. 

Preparation for First Eucharist also usually takes place in the third grade year at the of the SRE (Sunday Religious Education) classes.  Parish policy states that a student must attend SRE class for one year prior to acceptance into the sacramental preparation class.  A rite of Enrollment, parent meetings and Reflection Day are mandatory and included in this preparation.
