Holy Eucharist

What is the Eucharist?

The Holy Eucharist or more commonly known as communion, is the meeting point in which Jesus gives himself to believers. Believers receive his Body and Blood in the form of consecrated bread and wine. Consecration happens when the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. The Crucified and Risen Lord is present in communion.  Those who receive the Holy Eucharist are filled and strengthened and are in communion with Christ and each other.

Year 4 Retreat

Today the Year 4 students and First Communion candidates participated in a Retreat in the Parish Centre. The students began the day in Mass witnessing Father Thonn consecrate the Bread and Wine into the Body and Blood of Christ before heading into the Parish Hall for some fun activities. Mrs Coghlan took the students on a scavenger hunt to learn about Eucharistic symbols while Mrs Zaja assisted the students in making a bedazzled plate with a cross in the centre. Ms Hagarty took the students for a meditative walk, and Mrs Buckley re-enacted the Last Supper through a role play. The day ended with the First Communion candidate participating in the sacrament of reconciliation. All students left with a smile and were encouraged to go out and share the love of Jesus with everyone.
