First Holy Communion

Reconciliation and Holy Communion

As Catholics, we believe that the Holy Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith: it is the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Pope Francis has called it the “Sacrament of Love”.

During Year 4, our children are given the opportunity to make the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. This is a major part in the life of a Catholic. Though no one can replace the role of the parent in preparing your child for this special moment, you are not alone in this task.

The parish and school will always be ready to help and support. Our school, in its Religious Education lessons, will teach your child about Jesus, the Church, the Sacraments and especially about Reconciliation and Holy Communion.

St James Schools and our parish community work very closely together to prepare the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the First Holy Communion celebration, and parishioners will provide you and your family, along with other families, opportunities to participate in its life and to get to know your fellow parishioners better.

If you would like your child to be registered on the programme, please contact St James’ Church office.

Our children come together to celebrate their First Holy Communion June 2023

First Holy Communion is one of the most special  and important occasions in our Roman Catholic life. Our children celebrated the occasion together in a beautiful Mass shared with friends, family and parishioners. We decorated the church with our wonderful art.






We are so proud of the hard work and commitment our children have made together in their Holy journey. May you always know the peace of Jesus, the light of his love and the joy of his life within you.
