First Holy Communion 2018 Along with the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, First Holy Communion is one of the three sacraments of initiation. It is through these sacraments of initiation that we become full members of the Church. The Eucharist (from the Greek eucharistia, “thanksgiving”) is the sacrament of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, in which He is present under the forms of bread and wine offering Himself in the Sacrifice of the Mass and giving Himself as spiritual food to the faithful. It is during First Holy Communion that we receive the Holy Eucharist for the first time. For us as Catholics, there is nothing greater than to receive Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist at Mass.

To be eligible to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion Your child must: be baptised in the Catholic Church and have given a copy of this certificate to Mrs Bernto if not baptised at the church of St Anne’s be enrolled in our parish First Holy Communion programme through submission of the requisite form to the school office have received the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Instruction for this sacrament will take place at the same time as instruction for First Holy Communion.
