Welcome to Saint Mary of the Assumption
Roman Catholic Church in Milford, MA
is a culturally rich and diverse Catholic family; through our worship, educational, youth, and outreach ministries, we endeavor to welcome, to love, to evangelize and to serve, making Jesus Christ present in Word & sacrament.
Following the directives of the Bishops of the United States of America, a separate non-graded program is in place to assist families in preparing their children for the celebration of First Communion. Usually this occurs during the second year of elementary school, but families may choose a different age, earlier or later, depending on the maturity, awareness and interest of their child to celebrate this sacrament.
Preparation sessions for the 2018-19 academic year will take place on Tuesdays from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.
To participate in these sessions, candidates must be attending regular Religious Education classes in our parish, either in the English, Spanish or Portuguese speaking programs or be enrolled in a Catholic school.
English speaking parents must attend the first two sessions.
The calendar of sessions is as follows:
All candidates need to attend the retreat in preparation for their First Communion on Saturday, April 6th from 9 AM to 12 PM. This will be held in the Parish Center.
Available dates for the celebration of First Communion are as follows:
Individual celebrations can also be arranged with one of our parish priests.
