First Holy Communion Retreat Day

As part of the Religious Education Curriculum, all students in Year 4 participated in a First Holy Communion Student Retreat Day on Friday 13 June, held at the St Matthew’s Parish Centre. The day was facilitated by Miss Monty and Ms Bailey. They completed some beautiful art work, baked bread and prayed together in preparation for the celebration of this sacrament.

First Holy Communion

Congratulations to our First Holy Communicants who celebrated the sacrament on 15 June. It was lovely to see how excited they were to take this next step in their faith journey. This is a very special day when they received Jesus in the most special way for the first time. They prepared for this day with the help of their parents, Father Joe and their teachers. May they take the friendship of Jesus with them wherever they go in their lives.
