The Sacrament of First Eucharist is one of the Sacraments of Initiation, along with Baptism and Confirmation. Those who are preparing for First Eucharist also receive preparation for the Sacrament of First Reconciliation, which is received before First Eucharist.

If you are an adult desiring to receive First Eucharist, please visit our Becoming Catholic page.

“I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh… So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, abides in me and I in him'”.

John 6:51, 53-55
