The sacrament of the Eucharist has been instituted by Christ, to be celebrated in memory of him. Through the Eucharist the Church re-presents His once and for all Sacrifice to the Father, and from the Eucharist the Church receives Christ’s Body and Blood, to live strong in faith. We look forward to our First Eucharist celebration next Sunday 12th July at the Mass the child’s family worships. A big thank you to the Team at St Margaret Mary Parish who have been preparing our children since January.
