Solemn Holy Communion & Confirmation

The Holy Eucharist is the heart and center of Catholic life. In this sacrament, we profess our faith that Jesus Christ is truly present—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—under the appearances of bread and wine. Through the Eucharist we participate in the one sacrifice of Christ and receive Him as our spiritual nourishment. To receive Holy Communion, one must be a practicing Catholic and in a state of grace. This sacred communion deepens our union with Jesus, strengthens our bond with His Church, and fills our hearts with gratitude for His saving love.

For the reception of Solemn Holy Communion, children should be in Year 4 or above in catechism. Our Mission provides dedicated Holy Communion preparation classes, which are a necessary requirement before receiving the sacrament.

Parents who wish their child to receive Holy Communion or Confirmation at St. Mary’s Syro-Malabar Mission are kindly requested to complete the online application form provided below.
