Eucharist - Holy Communion
Eucharist is the great gift Jesus gave to his disciples before his Passion. It is the true symbol of his presence, when his Church is gathered to celebrate. It is the meaning of the unity of the Church.
Here at Christ the King, we are more than happy to prepare anyone to receive Holy Communion for the first time, whether for a young child or a grown up adult.
We are also happy to provide communion for the elders and the sick who cannot come to Church in person.
“Our Son Aidan made his First Holy Communion at CTK in 2021. Initially, we chose CTK as our place of worship because of the warm welcome we received by both the parish priest and many parishioners on the very first Sunday we attended mass. It has a visible, inclusive community atmosphere and we believe CTK provides the best environment to continue to nurture our Son’s faith as he gets older.”

As soon as children reach year three in school, they are invited to prepare for their First Holy Communion. Parents are invited to enrol their children between July and September. The sessions begin in October and the sacrament is celebrated during parish Masses in May of the following year.
Sessions are every other week on a Sunday between 9:45 and 10:45am. Families are requested to attend either the 9am or 11am Mass as part of the preparation. We are happy to invite the children to celebrate their First Reconciliation during the preparation.
Deadline for registrations is 6 October

“When I started my training to become a catholic, I understood the faith in Jesus Christ and I started to believe in God. It was wonderful to come from a non-religious background and become a religious person.”
Visiting group
The Eucharist is the main mean of the unity of the Church, it is key to “communion.” This is why it is so important for us that everyone can have access to this sacrament, even when they cannot come to Church anymore.
Parishioners in this situation are invited to contact the Visiting group.
