Sacrament of Eucharist -  Preparation Day

Thank you to all of our First Eucharist candidates and their families who attended the Family Faith Evening on Wednesday 27th May at St. Bernard’s Church.  It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout.  The evening, dynamically presented by Sarah Smith,  provided our families with an informative and reflective space to explore the meaning of the Sacrament of Eucharist together. 

Following this, our candidates also gathered this past Tuesday for a Eucharist Preparation Day.  The students spent time reflecting further on the Sacrament, celebrating mass with Fr Tho, creating artwork  and practising for the upcoming ceremonies so they feel confident and ready.

As these children approach their special day , we ask the entire St. Bernard’s parish and Clairvaux school community to keep them and their families in your prayers.

Lord Jesus,

Bless the children who are preparing to receive their First Eucharist.  May they always feel your love, grow deeper in their faith and welcome You joyfully into their hearts.

Amen
