The Holy Communion journey will be a year where your child will begin to focus on their Reconciliation and Eucharist Sacraments. A year where they will learn how to share the joy and love of Jesus with others as we help prepare their hearts and minds to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. 
Like many other Dioceses across the Nation, the FTW Diocese is coming to realize that there are far too many parents today that are not adequately catechized and they simply don’t know how to create a vibrant faith-life in the home.  Children are paying the price because they are not given an example of how to live the Catholic Faith day in and day out. We, here at St. Ann’s will be addressing this with our families by instituting FAMILY EVANGELIZATION within our classrooms.
 

The requirements for Holy Communion are as follows:

1.  The Candidate must be Baptized by the Catholic Church and a Baptismal certificate must be provided upon registration.
 

2.  Class attendance is very important—The Candidate may only miss a maximum of two (2) classes during their Holy Communion year.

3.   We strongly encourage Mass as a Family every Sunday—Mass is the most powerful prayer there is; it's where Heaven meets Earth and God's Love and Mercy are poured out upon each of us as we prepare ourselves to receive the Gift of his Body and Blood.
 

4. The Holy Communion journey is one, that both, Candidate and Parents will embark on.  At least one (1) parent(s) will be required to attend the “once a month Sacramental Class” with their child.  Also, they must attend all Parent Informational meetings, Family Activity Dates, and the Candidate must attend Reconciliation and Eucharist Etiquette Trainings as designated by the DRE.

5. The Candidate must have at least one year of Salvation History prior to enrolling in the Holy Communion class.
