First Holy Communion
Last Sunday, our Year 3 students, along with other students from our parish, made their first Holy Communion. First Holy Communion is a special and joyous occasion in the life of a Catholic child, marking their first reception of the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ. This sacrament is a significant step in their journey of faith, deepening their relationship with God and the Church. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the parents who dedicated their time and effort to bring their children to the preparation sessions, to the students for their reverence and attentiveness, the musicians in the Parish, Allison Wallace - our Parish Secretary and most especially to Father Paul for his guidance and support in preparing the students to receive this sacred sacrament.
