Rules
To
help with the smooth running of the First Communion ceremony, we ask for your
co-operation and to please note the following:
All students need to be
dropped off in the classroom by 9:30am Parents may go to the church after
dropping off your child.
Seating arrangements –
children are seated in reserved seats with their family members. Half a pew has
been reserved for each family. Additional seating will be available behind this
area for extra family and friends that will be attending the ceremony.
Parents and family
members are asked to remain seated before and during the ceremony. Please do
not leave your seat at any time to take photos or video.
All the children will
gather at the rear of the church in order to process together to their seats at
the beginning of the mass. The procession will begin when everyone is seated.
A professional
photographer has been hired to take a photo of your child as they receive their
First Communion.
A professional class
photograph will be taken immediately after Mass. Please remain seated until
this has been taken. A copy of your child’s individual photo, as well as a
class photograph, will be provided to you shortly.
Walk a few steps behind
your child as they go up to receive Communion. Stop a few steps back to allow
the photographer to take your child’s special picture. Parents can then step
forward to receive. After parents have received Communion you will move to the
left with your child for a family photo before returning to your seat.
A professional photographer
will be taking photographs of children as they receive Holy Communion.
After the Communion
Ceremony please join us for a brief reception in Scanlan Hall.
Lastly, enjoy this
special day with your child and help to create memories that they will cherish
for the rest of their lives.
