First Holy Communion

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us (Reconciliation) that sacramental celebration in which, through God's mercy and forgiveness, the sinner is reconciled with God and also with the Church. (Communion) Holy Communion, the reception of the Body and the Blood of Christ in the Eucharist. More generally, our fellowship and union with Jesus and other baptized Christians in the Church, which has its source and summit in the celebration of the Eucharist. 


Matthew 16:19 says, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."


John 6:51 says, "I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if you 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."

Rite of Confirmation

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us that Confirmation completes the grace of Baptism by a special outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which seal or "confirm" the baptized in union with Christ and equip them for active participation in the worship and apostolic life of the Church. 


Acts 1:8 says "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth."
