First Holy Communion

The preparation of the young children in Corpus Christi for Holy Communion is achieved through a collaboration of a number of groups of people.  Firstly, the child's own parents, secondly, the catechists (either within St. Teresa's School, or within the parish) and thirdly the parish community as a whole.   The members of these groups in the faith community all come together to pass on their faith and Church's tradition on the Eucharist to their young children.

The preparation consists of 11 sessions where the children together with the catechists   consider the many different gifts with which God has blessed us.  Together we discuss these gifts, explore how we and others are affected by them and think about how we can show our thanks to God.   The gifts that are discussed are: Creation, Life, Baptism, God's Word, Friendship, Forgiveness, Peace, Joy, Love and Thankfulness.

Once a month, through this period, all of the children and their parents join the parish for a special Mass when we focus on one of the special gifts. 

The children are also prepared for the Act of Reconciliation.

The culmination of our preparation takes place in June when the children and their families come together for the very special First Holy Communion Mass.
