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.
