Today Year 3 celebrated their First Holy Communion Mass with our whole school family at St. James’ Church.
It was a beautiful service to celebrate the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul and the special Sacrament that many of the children in Year 3 made in May. The children led the readings and the prayers for everyone at Mass for the first time today and then received Holy Communion alongside the older children.
Afterwards lots of parents joined us for a tea of scones and squash! All of the children celebrating today also received their own Good News Bible to keep with a special message inside from Psalm 139:
‘You are a child of God. You are wonderfully made, dearly loved in precious in His sight. Before God made you, He knew you. There is no one else like you.’
Well done everyone for how beautifully you read and for taking part in the Mass today. Thank you to all of the parents that joined us and the children and catechists for their hard work to prepare for this Sacrament.
