First Eucharist is generally celebrated in the Easter season for children in 2nd grade and higher.  Children must be enrolled in Faith Formation for two-years as a way of understanding the Eucharist as the Sacrament of gift.  In our diocese, preparation and celebration of Reconciliation is required prior to the reception of First Eucharist.  Parents are given take-home materials to help their children train for these great liturgical moments. 
 

If your child is preparing to receive their First Eucharist and was not baptized here
at St. Bartholomew, a copy of his/her certificate of baptism must be turned in to the CCE.
You may bring a copy to the CCE office or fax it to Attn: Nellie 281-391-3978.  

 
General Guidelines
Canon Law requires that the sacraments be received in the parish where one worships and participates in community.  Therefore, participants in sacramental programs should be registered parishioners of St. Bartholomew the Apostle Catholic Church who regularly attend Mass. 
Parents must attend a mandatory First Eucharist meeting
