Religious Education
The Sacrament of First Eucharist
Over the weekend our Eucharist candidates were supported by the St Andrew's community in their Eucharist Commitment masses. It was a wonderful celebration where our students felt the support of their families and their parish as they make this important step towards receiving their sacrament.
If your child is preparing to celebrate a sacrament this year, a resource you may like to make use of is 'Journeying Together'. Journeying Together covers the sacraments most commonly celebrated with primary-school-aged children - Reconciliation (Penance), Eucharist, and Confirmation. This resource will complement your child’s sacrament preparation at their Catholic primary school or in a parish catechetical setting.
Each sacrament module includes four sessions. Each session includes an invitation to explore and integrate the family’s lived experience with concepts from Scripture, the Church and the sacraments, along with opportunities to pray together.
We hope that by opening this opportunity, many will encounter Jesus and engage with their faith in a fresh and meaningful way.
