Eucharist

You have asked to have your children baptized. In doing so you are accepting the responsibility of training them in the practice of the faith. It will be your duty to bring them up to keep God’s commandments as Christ taught us, by loving God and our neighbour. Do you clearly understand what you are undertaking?
Parents: We do.  
 ~ Rite of Baptism

Holy Name of Mary Parish offers a process to prepare baptized children, 7 to 10 years of age, for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. *If your child is not yet baptized, Please contact the Parish Office by phone (613-256-1034), or by email. The process for and the celebration of these sacraments is a family affair and involves both the parent and child. The most important component of the process is weekly attendance at Sunday Mass at Holy Name of Mary Parish.
