Hello Everyone

Well we have reached the end of the term and hopefully, the holidays will give us the time to rest and revive ourselves, ready for Term 3. 

With the recent announcement, Masses can resume for First Holy Communion with a maximum of 75 people in attendance, so there have been some adjustments made with how to proceed with the First Holy Communion ceremonies, over a number of steps.

The first step is to offer the sacrament over the upcoming school holidays. There is a limit of 6 attendees per family which must be adhered to. This will include the child receiving the sacrament with a maximum of 5 guests. The dates are as follows:

• Tuesday 29th June to Saturday 3rd July at 9.30am (at our regular Mass)
• Tuesday 6th July to Saturday 10th July at 9.30am (at our regular Mass)
• Friday 2nd July and Friday 9th July at 7.30pm
• Saturday 3rd July and Saturday 10th July at 2.00pm.

Bookings need to be made via: https://www.trybooking.com/BSHUT

First Holy Communion will be held in St Michael’s Church and there will be a strict limit of 6 people per family, this number INCLUDES the child receiving their First Communion. 

The number of communicants will increase as restrictions ease and masks are mandatory in the Church. You must also use the QR code to enter the church.

Further dates will be released soon. If you have any questions regarding First Holy Communion, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours in Faith
