First Eucharist

Our Year 4 students preparing to recieve the Eucharist for the first time are well into the last part of their preparations. All students from Prep - Year 6 learn about the Eucharist and its centrality to our faith as a part of their class prayer life and learning time. The Eucharist Program in Year 4 is just the key point in this developing of understanding.

Last week we celebrated our Eucharist Family Night. It was a great opportunity for families to pause in the busyness of life and reflect on this step in their faith journey. 

This week we took a whole day, Eucharist Reflection Day, to continue developing our understanding of this sacrament which is the "summit and pinnacle of our faith." 

To our Eucharist Candidates, we look forward to sharing with you and praying for you, as you make the last steps on this journey towards receiving the Eucharist.

God our Father, 

We thank you for this special time together. 

We ask you to continue to guide us and our children 

as they  prepare to receive the Sacrament of Eucharist. 

Help us always to celebrate the gifts you have given us to share with one another. 

We ask for your blessings on all of those here 

and in the Church throughout the world 

who are preparing to receive the Eucharist for the first time. 

Send us the Holy Spirit 

to help us follow Jesus every day. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord. 

Amen.
