This beautifully written guide helps parents prepare their children to receive Jesus in the Eucharist with understanding and joy. It explains the meaning of the Mass, the Real Presence in child-friendly language, and how to participate reverently in the liturgy. Drawing on Scripture—from manna in the desert to the Last Supper—it roots First Communion in the story of salvation, while offering practical guidance for family prayer, preparing for Mass, and fostering a Eucharistic home. For parishes, it serves as an excellent foundation for sacramental parent sessions, helping families appreciate evolving First Communion practices and focus on lifelong participation in the Eucharist. At home, it encourages meaningful conversations, shared meals, and prayer that deepen a child’s love for Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament.

OSV’s bestselling parent booklet for First Communion has been revised and reimagined to fit the cognitive, interior life, and behavioral goals for the sacraments in the USCCB’s Handbook on the Catechetical Accompaniment Process. The result is an easy-to-read, parent-friendly booklet that helps parents guide their families in knowing, loving, and living the sacraments.
