First Holy Communion

The First Holy Communion is a milestone in the spiritual journey of our young parishioners. It is a sacred and happy occasion where children receive the Eucharist for the first time, deepening their relationship with Christ and becoming more involved in the sacramental life of the Church.

At Our Lady & St. Joseph, want to encourage anyone, regardless of age who wishes to embark on the next stage of their Catholic journey to speak to us about receiving this sacrament. We are here to guide and support families as their children prepare for this significant event. We offer guidance that helps children understand the meaning of the Eucharist, the importance of the Mass, and the love and grace of God that they receive through this sacrament.

Our parish community in Orkney is committed to making this preparation process enriching and memorable. We provide a nurturing environment where children can learn, ask questions, and grow in their faith.

To help your child begin their First Holy Communion preparations please contact Father directly. His phone number is available on our Contact Us page. We look forward to walking this faith journey with you and your family, and celebrating this sacred milestone together.
