First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion Preparation Course 2026   Registration for this year’s course has now closed. The First Communion Mass will be celebrated at 11am on Sunday 7th June 2026.

First Reconciliation (also known as Confession) and First Holy Communion are the two sacraments which usually follow on from Baptism. The preparation course for both sacraments is for Baptised Catholic children in Year 3 or above at school. The First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion course runs each year with a series of weekly sessions, usually starting in February/March and ending in May/June. Regular notices are placed in the weekly parish newsletter informing parents when registration opens for the course.  Once your child is registered, it is important to attend course sessions regularly and faithfully. It is also very important to attend Sunday Mass. Please speak to the Parish Priest or contact the Parish Office with any enquiries: kewgardens@rcaos.org.uk / 020 8940 3101.
