The sacraments of Christian initiation—Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist—lay the foundations of every Christian life. (CCC 1212). The sacrament of Eucharist is the center of all the sacraments and is the sacrament towards which all the others are ordered. By it, Christ becomes truly present to the faithful and through it, they are nourished and sustained by the gift of His own Body and Blood.
Children age 7 and under who wish to receive the Sacrament of Eucharist should be enrolled in our Religious Education Program which begins in September and runs through April of each year. First Holy Communion Masses are conducted for children in the program at the 4PM, 9:30AM, & 11:30AM weekend Masses each week during the months of May and June.
Older children will be prepared for reception of Eucharist through our Sacramental Preparation program. Please contact the Director of Religious Education at 978-475-0050 x28.
Adults who wish to receive any of the sacraments of initiation – Baptism, Eucharist or Confirmation – should inquire about our Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
The sacrament of the Eucharist is celebrated daily at 8am Mass and on Sundays – please consult the Mass schedule.
