First Holy Communion 2025
In June, a number of children from Years 3, 4 and 5 took an important step in their journey of faith as they received the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist for the very first time. This sacred occasion took place during a beautiful and prayerful Mass, where the children welcomed Jesus into their hearts in the most special way through Holy Communion.
As part of our cherished tradition at St Mary’s, the communicants then led the school community in a joyful and reverent Celebration of the Word. They shared readings, prayers, and reflections, reminding us all of the deep significance of the Eucharist and the presence of Christ in our lives.
Following the celebration, families were invited to stay and share in fellowship over tea and cake—a wonderful opportunity to come together as a faith community and give thanks for this blessed milestone.
We are so proud of all the children for their preparation, reverence, and joy. May they continue to grow in faith and love as they walk with Christ.
