Dear Parents and Carers, We are delighted to announce the start of our First Holy Communion preparation programme for 2026–2027 in the Parish of Our Lady and the Saints. There will be some changes to the programme this year, with both children and parents taking an active part in the preparation.

All parents wishing to enrol their child must attend our introductory meeting on Tuesday 3rd November from 6:00pm-7:00pm at Notre Dame School Hall, next to St Joseph’s Church. The meeting will be led by Fr Marcin, who will also be leading the First Holy Communion preparation programme. During the meeting, we will explain the programme, share the dates and outline the commitment involved for children and their families. Registration forms will be completed at the meeting.

The programme will begin on Tuesday 17th November, from 6:00pm–7:20pm, for both parents and children. Sessions will take place on Tuesday evenings, following the schedule shared at the introductory meeting. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this important journey of faith together. If you have any questions, please contact the Parish Office.

With every blessing, Fr Marcin
