“For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.”
John 6:55-56

Listening to Jesus’ command to “Do this in remembrance of me,” first Communion / Holy Eucharist unites an individual to God and the Catholic faithful through the reception of Our Lord at Mass. The Eucharist brings us into one body and provides the graces to love and serve God and each other more faithfully, fulfilling Jesus’ prayer to the Father: “I wish that they might all be one as you and I are one.” If you have a child who is ready for first Communion or if you’d like to begin the process to receive Communion, please contact us

To enrol to receive the sacrament of First Holy Communion, the child must have received the sacrament of Baptism, Confirmation and Reconciliation and must be attending grade 4 or higher. If your child is ready to receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion, please get in touch with the Parish office (07) 5558 0110 or contact us at [email protected].

To follow up with these, or any other questions, contact the parish office. The parish office staff will put you in touch with either the parish priest or another suitable person who will assist you in the process of preparing your child for Holy Communion.

Who prepares the children for Eucharist?

It is the duty of parents and the parish to offer children prayerful and practical help to celebrate the sacraments with proper devotion and to form them in the rituals of receiving the sacraments. Parishes work with families to help parents prepare their children to grow in their friendship with Jesus and their connection to the Church community.

What happens if my child is coeliac?

If your child suffers from allergies speak to the priest or sacramental coordinator. Low gluten hosts are available.

What does my child need to wear?

What is appropriate will be influenced by the varying situations, traditions and wishes of the families involved and guided by parish practice. Candidates are encouraged to wear what is age appropriate and culturally appropriate for their family.
