First Communion

We are thrilled to accompany you as you enter the most intimate relationship with Jesus through the Eucharist. 

The Archdiocese of New Orleans Office of Religious Education requires Catholic catechesis or instruction from the parish prior to the reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation. Children preparing to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist must complete first and second grade PSR classes.

Mass of the First Holy Eucharist is generally celebrated the first Saturday in May. Please check with your child's catechist for specific dates.

If you are an adult who needs to receive First Eucharist,  please contact aimee@stanselmparish.org so we can make arrangements.
