Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.

Our parish celebrates the Sacrament of First Eucharist with our 2nd grade students each May. Students wishing to receive their First Communion at St. Nicholas-St Mary should be enrolled in our Faith Formation program beginning in 1st grade.
