First Holy Communion Programme 2019- 20

Dear Parents,

Thank you for registering your child to take part in our Holy Communion Programme 2019- 2020.

This is a special year for your child. When you had your child baptised you made a promise that you would 'bring them up in the practice of the Catholic Faith'. The special moments of the coming year are an ideal way of keeping that promise and deepening your faith too. The programme begins on the weekend of 16th/ 17th November when your child will be presented at mass and finishes when they receive their First Holy Communion in May. A key element of the programme is attendance at mass. Please remember to bring your child's booklet with you each week when you attend so we can stamp it. We were amazed by the number of children who were awarded a 'gold' certificate for their brilliant attendance at weekend masses last year!

We look forward to sharing this journey with you.
