First Communion and Reconciliation

Reconciliation and First Communion 2026

"We will begin our Parish preparations for the 2026 First Confession and First Holy Communion Programme in early February. Could I ask that the parents of any children in the Parish who are in School Year 3 and above and who have not made their First Holy Communion please see me after Mass to collect an Enrolment Form for their child(ren) and return the completed Form(s) to me on or before Sunday 1st February 2026."

I would expect the dates/plan to be something like:

• Applications - January

• Intro meeting for parents - early February

• Series of 6-9 meetings for children (and sometimes parents) - February to May, on Sundays, alternating between Long Eaton (before 11am Mass) and Beeston (after 9.30am Mass)

• First Reconciliation - April or May

• First Communion - June (around time of Corpus Christi feast day)

The initial dates will appear in the newsletter when known. There will be an expectation of regular attendance at weekend Mass
