First Sacraments


First Holy Communion
Preparation for First Sacraments involves parents, church and school. The parents are expected to attend four sessions for each sacrament, in order to get a greater understanding of the implications of being a parent of a child receiving these Sacraments for each Sacrament. These sessions are an hour and a quarter long and take place in the parish hall.
The children are prepared for these Sacraments by a group of dedicated Catechists, who work with the children's parents. Preparation for these Sacraments begins in September and continues until June, with a follow-up in September.
First Reconciliation takes place the end of January, and the children receive their First Holy Communion in June.
