The Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross
First Holy Communion Sign-up Sunday
For those who are baptised as Catholics, live in the St Joan of Arc Parish, and are in school year 3, 4 and 5, and are regularly attending Holy Mass here, you are invited this weekend to sign-up for the 2026 First Holy Communion Programme.
If you live outside of the parish boundary but have made St Joan of Arc your worshipping community, you may also apply here for Holy Communion, but Fr. Simon may either need to consult your proper parish priest or send you to him to obtain permission. Fr. Simon will review all applications on his return from holiday and contact you if he needs to clarify anything on your application form. If you are not currently attending Mass, you should defer your application until you have made the Sunday Mass the source and summit of your life. Attendance at Holy Mass especially on a Sunday will be an integral part of the course.
[Parents of children in year 6 and above who have yet to make their First Holy Communion and now wish to do so under the above criteria should make an appointment to see Fr. Simon to tailor preparation to the particular needs of the child.]
Holy Communion is but one part of the Sacrament of the Eucharist we celebrate each week in the Holy Mass. It is the sacrament of the cross, on which Jesus pours out his precious blood for the forgiveness of our sins. This is this the ‘Triumph’ or ‘Exaltation of the Cross’, that by his death and resurrection, we are set free from the slavery of sin and brought to new life in Christ. This divine life given to us in Baptism, is nourished by Jesus in the Eucharist – by Word and Sacrament he gives himself to totally – as we receive his body, blood, soul and divinity. This is also a foretaste of the heavenly banquet to come when we finally, God willing, take our place at victory banquet of the Lamb of God in the Father’s house, our true home.
Fr Simon
