Holy Communion
Receiving First Holy Communion is a significant and joyful milestone in a child’s faith journey. Our parish offers a preparation programme that helps children and their families deepen their understanding of the Eucharist and grow closer to Christ. If you would like to enrol your child or find out more, please fill in the form below, select ‘Holy Communion’, and we will contact you shortly.
The details of the next course will be advertised in the Parish Newsletter towards the end of the year and First Holy Communion Registration forms will be available in the Church porch. The course will be open for all children who are currently in years 3 and 4. Please send the following details via the below form or email: fhcstjamescolchester@gmail.com or via the Presbytery office: colchester@brcdt.org
* Child’s Full Name
* Child’s D.O.B.
* Name of the school your child attends
The dates of the next course will be sent out upon receipt of your registration. However, please remember to ‘save the date’ of the Parents’ Meeting which ALL PARENTS will be required to attend to complete the registration process for your child to attend the Reconciliation & First Holy Communion Courses. We will be looking for adult helpers to run the small groups for the children. Without the parent helpers, we are unable to successfully run these sessions.
