First Holy Communion 2025/26
Details of the next programme will be shared via the parish mailing list and Mass announcements once a new team is in place to lead this.
The Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are very special milestones in a child’s faith journey. They are moments of joy, growth, and deepening friendship with Jesus. As a parish community, we are delighted to walk alongside our children and families at this exciting stage of their lives.
Sacred Heart runs a parish-based preparation programme . On these pages you’ll find all the details you need about the 2025/26 programme — from programme dates, to FAQs, downloads, and how to register.
Through this programme, children are gently prepared to take part in these sacraments with understanding and reverence. They will learn more about God’s love, the importance of forgiveness, and the gift of the Eucharist — when we receive Jesus Himself in Holy Communion.
As parents, family, and parishioners, we share the privilege of supporting our children as they take this important step. Together we pray, learn, and celebrate — helping them to grow in faith and feel at home in the family of the Church.
