FIRST EUCHARIST MASS

On Friday 28th July we welcome students, friends and families from St Joseph's school to the celebration of the Sacrament of Eucharist. The Sacrament will be held at 6pm at St Mary's Star of the Sea with staff and students from our school participating in the Liturgy with reading and singing. 

Twelve students from Year Four will be receiving the Eucharist for the first time and I ask you to keep them in your prayers as they prepare for this day.

The following “PRAYER AT A CHILD’S FIRST COMMUNION” is a prayer for those children preparing for their First Holy Communion and reflects our great appreciation of the Eucharist: 

 Lord Jesus Christ, bless the children coming forward to receive Holy Communion for the first time. 

May this day be the step toward a life-long love of the Eucharist.

Give them a hunger for this sacred food so that they turn to you for comfort, guidance, and wisdom as they grow into full discipleship.

Thank you for their innocence and goodness.

May their hands, extended in anticipation of your body and blood, inspire all of us to cherish this sacred Sacrament.  

Amen.
