Because Baptism is celebrated so early in life, First Communion is often the first sacrament of initiation that our young people remember. This makes it an even more privileged encounter with the God who loves and accompanies us always who gives us the gift of His very self in this Sacrament. Good preparation is needed for all the sacraments, but especially for a milestone as important as this one so that our young people may cherish not only their First Communion but everytime they meet Jesus in the Eucharist.
