First Eucharist Parent Meeting one

Prayer Dear God, you know and love us personally. Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, gave us his Body and Blood in the Eucharist as a sign of your love for us. Through it may we come to experience your love, and in turn love others. We ask this through Jesus your Son and in union with the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.

First Holy Communion What do you remember of what you were taught for your First Communion? What do you remember of how you felt on your First Communion Day? Sharing and feedback

The Sacrament of the Eucharist First Holy Communion is the colloquial name for a person's first celebration of the sacrament of the Eucharist. The celebration of First Eucharist is a sacred and important moment on a long journey of faith development. Together with Baptism and Confirmation, it opens the door to full membership of the Christian community.

Sacraments of Initiation Initiation into the Roman Catholic Church is through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. First Holy Communion, sharing in the body and blood of the Lord at Mass for the first time, is the climax of the initiation process. Eating and drinking with the rest of the community at the Table of the Lord is a sign of belonging fully to that community.

The word ‘communion’ means to be united with - Catholics believe that in Holy Communion they are united in a special way with Jesus Christ, that they are sharing in the body and blood of Christ the Saviour.

Jesus Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist 1) in the assembly that gathers in Christ’s name 1) in the assembly that gathers in Christ’s name 2) in the priest or bishop who presides 3) in the word proclaimed in our midst 4) in the eucharistic elements of bread and wine. Though they differ from each other, each of these presences is real, and each offers us a unique opportunity to recognize Christ with us.

What images and memories shape your understanding of Jesus? How has your understanding of Jesus grown and changed over time?

It is only when people know Christ and love Christ that they are drawn at each Eucharist to remember him. We can’t remember Jesus if we don’t know him. So the important question is: How do we come to know Jesus? How did you come to know Jesus? What people and experiences helped you learn about Jesus and develop a relationship with him? Jesus

The role of parents Parents have the most essential role in the faith life of their children. If the adults in a child’s life truly celebrate Eucharist, then that child’s First Eucharist is more likely to be just the first in a lifetime of meaningful encounters with the Body of Christ.

The role of parents Ideally the best preparation for the Eucharist is taking your child to Mass regularly and helping your child understand what it is all about.
