Our Faith Formation program, which includes First Eucharist preparation, begins each year in the fall.  Registration is now closed and will open for the 2021-2022 year in late summer. 

"Happy is the soul that knows how to find Jesus in the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in all things!"

St. Peter Julian Eymard

Coming to the table to be nourished by Jesus, the Eucharist is at the center of who we are as Catholic, Christian people. 

Baptized children who are 7 years of age (second grade) are prepared for First Eucharist by their parents and the St. Thomas Becket Parish Faith Formation program or a Catholic School faith program.  Children in Sacramental Preparation must also be enrolled in either the our Faith Formation program or enrolled in a Catholic School.

Older children, who have not had First Eucharist and are now ready, may be prepared by special arrangement. 

For further information, email Mary McDonald.
