Eucharist

The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist. "At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet ‘in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.'" - Catechism of the Catholic Church.

- Confirmation/First Eucharist Preparation for Grade 3 Students
In September of 2020, we held our First Restored Order Confirmation/First Eucharist Celebration.  What does that mean?  It means that we are now under a new initiative called, “Restore • Renew • Proclaim the Hope that is Christ,” from Bishop Libasci in Manchester in Faith Formation for our children.  
Although it has been a transition from what we as a Parish and as Catholics are used to, we have embraced it and as the Bishop states in his letter "A Call to Hope, A Call to Act A Pastoral Letter from Bishop Peter A. Libasci to the people of the Diocese of Manchester January 16, 2019," there are many blessings being realized through this implementation. 
Therefore, from now on, children in Grade 2 will be prepared for the Sacrament of First Penance only, and in Grade 3, the children will receive preparation for both the Sacrament of Confirmation and First Eucharist which will both be received at the same Mass on the same day, usually in May of their Grade 3 school year. Please register your child/ren for the Sacraments accordingly. 

For additional information regarding the First Eucharist, please visit PreK-12 Faith Formation, or contact the Children and Youth Ministry Support at 603-888-0608.

ADORERS NEEDED: We need to have at least one committed volunteer in the church at all times during Exposition.
