The FHC team are now accepting registrations for the 2024-25 First Holy Communion programme. Kindly send completed application forms and a copy, not original, of your child’s baptismal certificate to fhc@catholicwindsor.org. A meeting for parents will be held on 26 September at 18:30.

For those families wishing to enrol their children (who are in year 3 or above) we shall be having a threefold programme, as follows:

Step 1: ‘Come and See’ (John1: 39-41)

For 6 weekends from the 28/29 September to 2/3 November. The candidate is required to attend weekend Masses with family members. At the beginning of November, a Commitment Ceremony will be held.

Step 2: ‘They sat at the feet of Jesus’ (Luke 10:38-42).

The Saturday morning sessions, at 10:00, start at the beginning of November where the candidates will prepare with their parents for First Reconciliation and Holy Communion.

Step 3: ‘Jesus Sent them Out’ (Luke 10:1).

The Holy Communion Mass will be followed by an invitation to participate in one of the activities of our parish community e.g. Young Readers, Altar Servers or Mini Vinnies (Junior SVP).

To enrol in step 1 please fill in an application form that can be found on our website. The introduction to the programme will be on Thursday 26 September at 18:30 in St Edward’s Parish Centre. At this meeting of parents, you will receive the ‘Commitment Card’ that needs to be stamped when your child attends Mass. Further dates will be given at this meeting.
