Registration for First Holy Communion 2026
Applications for children (who started in Year 3 or above at school this September) to celebrate their First Holy Communion in 2026 are now invited and you should speak with me after Mass. I kindly remind parents that your support and active encouragement are vital in helping your child's faith to grow, most especially in regularly attending Sunday Mass. Christian parents are called to teach their children all they need to know about how to live on earth so that they may come to eternal life in heaven. All applications should be received and completed by this Sunday, 23 November. Thank you.
