What is the Sacrament of the EUCHARIST?
The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life” (Lumen Gentium, #11). In the Eucharistic liturgy and our prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, we encounter God’s presence in personal and profound ways. But the Eucharist is also social, as Pope Benedict XVI reminds us in Deus Caritas Est: “A Eucharist which does not pass over into the concrete practice of love is intrinsically fragmented.”
Christian spirituality flows from the Eucharist (the source) and so Christian actions should be directed towards it (the summit). Every other sacrament is linked to the Eucharist.The Eucharist, celebrated as a community, teaches us about human dignity, calls us to right relationship with God, ourselves and others, invites us to community and solidarity, and sends us on mission to help transform our communities, neighborhoods and world. Church teaching, rooted in both Scripture and Tradition, emphasizes both the personal and social natures of the Eucharist.

The Archdiocese of Atlanta requires that a student must be enrolled in Religious Education classes the year prior to receiving the sacraments. (i.e. the child must attend first grade religious education classes to receive the sacraments during their second grade year). Therefore, if your child is in first grade for the current year, they must attend Religious Education classes this year (70% attendance rate) in order to be prepared to receive the sacrament when they are in second grade.
If your child is in 3-5 grade, they must be enrolled in Religious Education classes for 2 consecutives years.
A Special Sacraments class is available for students enrolled in six grade or higher and require the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.
