Is céimeanna tábhachtacha iad an Saicraimintí an Chéad Fhaoistin agus an Chéad Chomaoineach i saol creidimh na bpáistí. Sa Chéad Fhaoistin, faigheann siad maithiúnas agus trócaire Dé agus foghlaimíonn siad tábhacht an athmhuintearais agus tús úr a dhéanamh. Sa Chéad Chomaoineach, glacann agus fáiltíonn na páistí Íosa san Eocairist Ró- Naofa den chéad uair. Inár bparóiste, is ócáidí speisialta iad seo do na páistí, dá dteaghlaigh, dá scoileanna agus don phobal uilig, agus tagann muid le chéile le guí ar a son agus le ceiliúradh leo agus iad ag fás sa chreideamh.
The programme of preparation for First Holy Communion involves the home, school and parish. It is this three-fold partnership that will enable children to learn, deepen and enrich their faith and grow in a love for the body and blood of Christ.
The home is the most important element of this partnership as parents are the first and best teachers of their children. The school and parish will support and celebrate what is being taught and lived in the home.
Preparing to receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion is a very special time for children as they celebrate the second stage of their initiation into the Catholic Church.
