Please let Canon Michael know if you would like to take part. FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION: Theme 'Remembering'. Jesus ate many meals with his friends, but this last meal before his death is a special one. We continue to partake in this same special meal today in the Eucharist as we celebrate and remember his life, his death and resurrection. By sharing this same meal of the Eucharist, we express and affirm our belief that the whole mystery of the risen Christ is present and active in the Mass as we gather, eat and drink as the people of God. Nourished by this meal, we go forth to show our love as Jesus did, to give our lives as he did - for others.
