The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life."

The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch.

Children typically first receive Communion once they reach the age of reason, which is usually considered to be around second grade or 7 years old.
