Our period of preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion will begin in September/October 2026. If you would like your child to celebrate these sacraments in 2027, we invite you to attend a Parents/Guardians Information Meeting:
Tuesday 6 October at 7PM in St John the Baptist Church
At this meeting, we will give a brief outline of the preparation programme for the year ahead. An Information Pack and a candle will also be given to parents/guardians. It is important that parents/guardians attend this meeting. Children preparing for First Holy Communion do not need to attend. Please sign in by class on arrival and collect your Information Pack. Unfortunately, on the evening of the meeting, we will only be able to give information packs to parents/guardians who are present. If you are unable to attend the meeting in person, please contact me directly at: [email protected]

Have you listened to the Parish Podcast episode on First Holy Communion Preparation?
Preparations for First Holy Communion were showcased on Episode 1 of Pareach, our Parish Podcast, where three of our young parishioners reflected on this great mystery of our faith and described how they look forward to the day that they would receive Jesus in the Eucharist. We hope that you enjoyed this episode of our podcast. For more episodes of our podcast, click here.
