Preparation of children and their families for First Communion takes place through the parish based programme, "Do This In Memory". This pre-sacramental programme is designed to help children, parents/guardians and the wider parish community prepare for First Eucharist. It is centred in the parish celebration of the Sunday Eucharist and in the home. The programme resources are designed to facilitate parents/guardians, families and the parishes’ active involvement in the preparation for the sacrament. It complements and supports the work of sacramental preparation in the parish school or the religious education programme in the parish. All children will complete the “Do this in Memory” programme prior to receiving their First Holy Communion. A significant part of the programme will take place at Sunday masses.
