First Holy Communion 2023

First Holy Communion (Eucharist) is unique among the sacraments as it is at the heart of our faith. For Catholics, the Eucharist, or Mass, is the most powerful way we encounter the real presence of Jesus Christ.

Our Eucharist program at St Mary’s is Parish based, Family centred & School supported. You have the joy of being the first educators of your children in the gift of faith and our Parish offers support to you at this important time in your family’s life.

The Sacrament of First Holy Communion will take place during Terms 2 and 3 in 2023. This Sacrament is for candidates that are in Year 3 or older and who have received the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation.

If you are considering the Sacrament of First Holy Communion for your child in 2023, then we would like to extend a warm invitation to you to come along to a Parent/Carer Information Session as part of our preparation requirement for the sacramental journey of your child.
