Messages from Mr Andrew Butler

Along with the Sacrament of Baptism, First Holy Communion is one of our three sacraments of initiation. It is through these sacraments of initiation that we become full members of the Church. We receive the Holy Eucharist for the first time during the First Holy Communion. 

The Holy Eucharist refers to Christ’s body, blood, soul, and divinity that are truly present in the consecrated host and wine (now called the Body and Blood of Christ) on the altar. For Catholics, there is nothing greater than to receive Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist at Mass.

First Holy Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Catholic person’s life. It is the first time that a person receives the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, which is the eating of consecrated bread and drinking of consecrated wine. 

We pray for our students who receive First Holy Communion during parish masses or at masses held on Sunday 3rd September and Sunday 10th September, now that they have completed the Sacramental Program. May they always remember this special moment as they receive the body of Christ and draw upon the spiritual nourishment of Jesus in their lives.
