Welcome
to
'DO THIS IN MEMORY'
A Parish-based Preparation
Programme for First Eucharist
|
Do This in Memory
offers parents/guardians, children and the parish community the
opportunity to prepare together for First Penance and First Communion.
The programme is designed around the three year church liturgical
cycle. Each programme begins in September and continues through
to June of the following year crossing two liturgical years i.e.
Do This in Memory 1 begins in September
at the end of Year C and concludes on the Feast of Corpus Christi
in Year A - likewise for the other years. Do This in
Memory is designed to take place within the context
of the Sunday Parish celebration of the Eucharist. It is then continued
in the home through the use of activities and resources for both
parents/guardians and children. This highlights the importance of
the Sunday Eucharist as a place where we gather, are nourished by
the Word and the Bread of Life, and are sent forth to live the Gospel.
It also acknowledges the home as the most important and significant
place, where the faith of our children is nurtured, nourished and
sustained.
