Holy Communion
The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, nourishes us for the rest
of our days on earth. As Christians together we make up the
mystical Body of Christ; in celebrating the Eucharist we unite
ourselves with Jesus Christ our Head.
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if any one
eats of this bread, he will live forever."
The Eucharist is described as the source and summit of the
Christian life. It is the origin for all our prayer, worship
and activity, and it is the goal of everything we do.
This is because in celebrating the Eucharist, we enter into
communion with Christ himself, whose body and blood, soul and
divinity are given to us under the form of bread and wine.
Jesus instituted the Eucharist at the Last Supper. On the night
of his betrayal and arrest, Jesus took bread and wine and spoke
of them as being now his body and blood: signs of a new and
everlasting Covenant between God and people which he was to
establish by his death on the cross the following day.
Faithful to Jesus' command to "do this in memory of me", the
Church continues to take bread and wine and to speak Christ's
words of consecration over them.
Children are prepared for their First Holy Communion when they
reach Year 3 or above at school. We run a preparation course
for children and their parents each year from October until
June.
