First Sacrament -- Baptism

It all begins with belonging to a family, the Christian family. As Catholics and as Deaf Catholics, we take time to deep “discern” the decision to become Christian. The early Christians prepared for two years under persecution (lions, burning at the stake, and crucifixions). Now days, the world still puts pressure to reject baptism. This First Step is to prepare for baptism, or to spend time remembering your earlier baptism.

Your First Eucharist

First Eucharist is a special moment. You “receive” Christ. The first disciples received Jesus at the Last Supper, and Jesus said, “THIS IS MY BODY!”. Jesus did not say, “This is bread that symbolizes my body.” We believe that what we eat, focus on, believe . . . we become. So, following Jesus, copying his life, praying/talking wiht Jesus . . . we will become like Jesus. We become Christians. In this lesson, we will remember our First Communion/Eucharist and review what this means as Catholic-Christians.
