Celebrating First Holy Communion 2021
Information Evening
The information session for parent's of candidates wishing to celebrate their First Holy Communion will be presented by Fr Geoffrey and posted on his youtube channel.
Information Session for parents whose children attend State & Private schools: available 15 September 2021
Information session for parents whose children attend St Michael's School: available 15 September 2021
First Communion Mass Dates
First Communion will be celebrated over two Masses on 31 October and one Mass on 7 November, 2021. At this stage due to COVID-19 pandemic regulations St Michael's Church has a capacity restricted to 150 people which we are anticipating will be eased in the first half of 2021. We shall add any additional Masses for First Holy Communion if required.
Please note the children at St Michael's Parish celebrate their first Holy Communion in Year 3 (or above). They are required to have been baptised in the Catholic faith and to have made their first Reconciliation prior to making their first Communion. If they have not made their first Reconciliation they should contact Fr Geoffrey or enrol in the program run in July- August.
Presentation Masses
Whether the Presentation of Candidates shall be made at Mass in October 2021 will depend on the easing of COVID-19 restrictions on Mass attendance numbers. We shall update information as available.
Lesson Preparation
Candidates from St Michael's Primary in year 3 will prepare for their first Communion at school during lesson time. All other candidates from State and Private schools and St Michael's students in year 4 and above are required to attend 2 x 50 minute lessons led by Katherine de Haast our Sacramental Coordinator. Lessons are held in the church hall and full attendance is required. Lessons start Tuesday 19 or Wednesday 20 October 2021.
Mass Rehearsals
At this stage there are no rehearsals scheduled.
