First Holy Communion 2025 – 26 Application Form

Program Dates

Now that the first holy communion program is part way through, please contact the Parish Pastoral Assistant to discuss registration for 2027.

Please put ALL of these dates into your diary. It is important that your child(ren) attend all of the sessions for them to get the best out of it. First Holy Communion is a significant stage in their lives!

The sessions start at 09:00 and run to 10:30 unless otherwise stated on the list of dates below.

At the same time as your child(ren) attend their first holy communion group, we provide sessions for parents and guardians. At their baptism you promised that you would try to be their first, and best teachers, and the program is designed to help you with this. Some of the sessions are joint meetings - you will be with your child(ren) helping them to understand, and also deepening your own understanding. For the other sessions (most of the sessions) the children will meet their catechists in the Old Priory, and Parents will have meetings in St Gregory's school hall.
