Sacrament of the eucharist

Holy Communion is the third of seven sacraments received. It occurs only after receiving Baptism, and once the person has reached the age of reason. First confession must precede the reception of the Eucharist.

 

First Holy Communion 

First Holy Communion preparation involves home, school and parish working together.

In September a meeting of parents is held, to pray and reflect on the year ahead and the decision to present your child for Holy Communion preparation.

We will begin the period of preparation for your children’s First Holy Communion and First Confession with a special Enrolment Ceremony.

All families are asked to bring their child to Sunday Mass and each month we have a special preparation Mass.

We use the BRIDGE Preparation programme and Family Newsletter.

A parents’ group support the running of the programme alongside Annette Farrell, our Faith Development Coordinator.

Our Holy Communion celebration takes place in the Sunday Mass in April or May each year, family, school and parish coming together.
