First Holy Communion Programme 2024/25
Applications for the First Holy Communion programme at St John Fisher RC Church, Perivale will open on Sunday 1 st September and close on Sunday 29th September 2024.
In 2024 we held the first Holy Communion masses in the 9.30 Family Mass on Sundays for the first time. We have reviewed this and decided to continue with this approach in 2025. We feel that the benefits of this are that:
- the children take their first Holy Communion in the presence of the church community,
- they are familiar with the 9.30 Family Mass as they are encouraged to attend it
on the first Sunday of every month during the course and - the musicians for the 9.30 Family Mass are familiar with the music used in the
first Holy Communion masses
