FIRST HOLY COMMUNION PROGRAMME 2024-2025
"The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." ..by the Eucharistic celebration we already unite ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God will be all in all." (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1326)
For those children who will be in year 3 (or above) in September 2024 who would like to make their First Holy Communion, please collect a form from the Church Foyer or contact the parish office.
The programme will begin on Saturday 14th September in the Upper Room.
Our First Holy Communion Preparation programme takes place approx. 1/2 times a month on Saturday mornings from 9am-10am beginning in September and ending in June with the celebration of the children's First Holy Communion. We ask for a contribution of £25 per child for our programme. This covers the beautiful "I belong" book the children are given, as well as a First Holy Communion pack and all resources during the programme. During each session, the children will be in the Upper Room while the parents attend the parents sessions in the Church with Fr Nixon. It is essential that both children and parent(s) attend all sessions and Sunday Mass (including Saturday Vigil Mass).
