First Holy Communion Programme PDF Print E-mail

Programme for Preparation 2012

The programme of preparation for First Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Reconciliation involves the home, school and parish. It is this three-fold partnership that will enable children to learn, deepen and enrich their faith and grow in a love for the body and blood of Christ.

The home is the most important element of this partnership as parents are the first and best teachers of their children. The school and parish will support and celebrate what is being taught and lived in the home.

Preparing to receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion is a very special time for children as they celebrate the second stage of their initiation into the Catholic Church. An extensive programme is currently running and if you require any information or support with the preparation of your child please contact (01) 8213218 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
