First Holy Communion Programme 2025
Our First Forgiveness/ Holy Communion programme will begin in January. Please see key dates for the year below. There is an expectation that parents attend all parents' meetings and families attend all preparation Masses, in addition to fulfiling your weekly obligation to attend weekend Mass.
First Holy Communion: 15th June 2024
What a wonderful celebration of First Holy Communion we had again this year! The children read, participated, sung and received the Blessed Sacrament with such reverence and grace, and we are so proud of them all. Many thanks to Fr Anton and our parents for your continued guidance and support in our children's journeys of faith.
First Confession: 21st March
Our Year 3 children received the very special sacrament of Reconciliation/ First Forgiveness in March in a beautiful service led by the children. It was lovely to see how many parents were also prepared to receive God's grace sacramentally- an excellent example of faith to our children. Thank you!
