First Holy Communion – All Saints Catholic Church
Over the past several weeks, a group of our students have been preparing to receive their First Holy Communion at All Saints Catholic Church. This preparation culminated in the celebration of First Communion on Sunday, 7th September.
This sacred sacrament marks a significant step in their spiritual lives, as they receive the Eucharist for the first time and strengthen their relationship with God and the Church community. Guided by their teachers, parish leaders, and families, the students have spent time learning about the meaning of the Eucharist, the importance of prayer, and the values of love, forgiveness, and service.
We are incredibly proud of each student who took part in this significant rite of passage. Their dedication, reverence, and enthusiasm on the day were wonderful to see. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Father Anthony Arokciam for supporting the children throughout their preparation and warmly inviting them to participate during Mass. Thank you also to the St Vincent de Paul Society for giving the children a Mass book, which we are sure will be treasured.
May this First Communion mark the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith, love, and service for each of these young people.
Congratulations to the following students; Beau Nolan, Alexis Barden, Maggie Watson, Nate Sutton, Henry Eakin, Sapphire Schafer, Anna Saldanha, Zali Wehl and Rahni Ferguson.
Congratulations also to Haven Kavanagh and Charlotte Macdonald who will make their First Communion on Sunday 21st September.
