First Holy Communion

The preparation for First Holy Communion usually begins when the candidate is in 2nd class in primary school. The preparation involves the cooperation of the school, the Church, the family and the wider parish community. This partnership enables children to gain a richer understanding of the sacrament and engage more comprehensively in the programme for preparation. Preparation for First Holy Communion includes preparing and receiving the sacrament of First Reconciliation (or First Confession).

Our Parish Sacramental Preparation Team works with the candidate, their family and the school throughout this year to develop a deeper understanding of the Mass and the sacrament of First Holy Communion.
