First Holy Communion 2024

Fr John Daly would like to extend a very warm welcome to the young people making their First Holy Communion this weekend. To their parents and friends who have come along to celebrate with them and to support them on this day of days, when they will receive for the first time…the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ.


Fr John Daly have included a quote from the great English writer J. R. R. Tolkien to mark the moment.
The only cure for sagging or fainting faith is Communion. Though always itself, perfect and complete and inviolate, the Blessed Sacrament does not operate completely and once for all in any of us. Like the act of Faith it must be continuous and grow by exercise. Seven times a week is more nourishing than seven times at intervals.”

Please pray for our young people that they continue to have a hunger and love for the Eucharist throughout their lives.
