Holy Communion

I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.

John 6:51

  • Children begin formal preparation for Holy Communion in the second grade. To learn more about having your child receive First Holy Communion, visit our page on Youth Religious Formation or email Lisa Harrelson, Director of Religious Education, at lharrelson@svsc.info.

  • If you are an adult seeking to receive Holy Communion, we invite you to join our OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults) program. This process will guide and support you on your journey of faith and preparation for the sacraments. To learn more or to begin, please email ocia@svsc.info.
