First Communion & First Confession
Holy Holy Communion and Confession mark the second stage of initiation into the Christian faith. Our First Communion and First Confession Programme begins in the autumn, and an announcement will be made in the parish newsletter as to when the enrolment for the programme takes place.
We have very high numbers of candidates wishing to receive the sacraments and we therefore are required to apply the rules strictly. Parents will need to produce the child’s Baptism Certificate and attend the special Parents Evenings.
Sacraments are usually received in the parish in which you reside. Permission is required from your own parish priest to receive them elsewhere. At St Joseph’s we would expect the family to be regularly attending our Church for six months before applying for First Communion and First Confession for their child.
Please note that First Holy Communion and First Confession is not a school based endeavour, but a sacrament of the Church. As such, the parish is the place where children of many school communities come together as part of the one family of the parish community.
Registration for the 2023-2024 First Communion Programme will take place on 8th and 15th October 2023 at the Parish Hall, right after the 9:30 AM Mass. Please fill the Registration Form below and bring it along with the fee, and a copy of the Baptismal Certificate of your son/ daughter, and a signed copy to the Consent for Photograph (please see below)
The program will begin on Wednesday 17th January from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM at St Joseph's Church (See Planned Programme below)
Please contact the Parish Office for more information.
