Year 4 First Holy Communion

Celebrating First Holy Eucharist

We keep our Year 4 students in our prayers as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of First Holy Eucharist this Sunday, 2nd August.

This special sacrament marks an important step in their spiritual journey as they come to the table of the Lord to receive Holy Communion for the very first time.

"Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.'"
— John 6:35

Just as bread nourishes our physical bodies, the Eucharist is God’s gift of spiritual nourishment, drawing us into a deeper and personal friendship with Christ. Through this holy sacrament, our students are reminded that Jesus is always walking alongside them, offering His love, guidance, and peace.

We wish all our Year 4 candidates and their families a truly blessed, joyful, and memorable day. May God bless you abundantly on this sacred occasion!
