Thank you for visiting our website, For those preparing for First Communion please continue to engage with the parish programme and also the work that the teachers are doing in school and in the religion classes.
As with last year, the parish will provide the safest and most meaningful ceremonies for these important events in your children’s lives. They will be celebrated in a similar fashion in that there will be limited numbers in the Church which we expect to be the case right into the early part of next year. So don’t lose hope, these ceremonies will happen and we will keep you informed of any developments by email.
First Eucharist in Our Lady of Victories is an occasion to celebrate for the entire parish community. Our parish community prepares for the celebration of the First Eucharist through a programme called Do This In Memory. Put together by parents and catechists, it started in Ireland in 2004 and has grown stronger every year. Please see schedule below for the dates for the Do This In Memory programme in 2018 and 2019.
