OUR LADY OF THE NATIVITY CHURCH LAWSON

First Communion Preparation to date

First Communion Celebrations

Two wonderful Masses brought many blessings to everyone, especially to the 42 young people who shared in our Common-union. They received the living bread, Jesus himself, for the very first time at both Katoomba and Lawson.

At our final preparation meeting each First Communicant received a candle to remind them to follow Jesus' teachings about care and love for others.

As a special way of living the message of Jesus, the Sacramental families gathered

food and toiletries to donate to the St Vincent de Paul Society which is active in the Upper Blue Mountains Churches. Six large bags of goods were donated. A great way to share in the love of Jesus!

Congratulations to all our First Communion families.

The preparations continued with the Family sessions 3 and 4 held at both Katoomba and Lawson. The highlight of session 3 was a re-enactment of the Last Supper followed by a discussion about the presence of Jesus at the Last Supper and the presence of Jesus today within the celebration of the Eucharist. In session 4,the children mimed the parable of the Good Samaritan and then through discussion we connected the last part of the Mass when we are exhorted to "Go and and Serve the Lord' to Jesus' teaching about care for others , eventhose outside our local communities.

The First Communions will be held over the next two Sundays at Katoomba and then Lawson. Please pray for these families as they continue at home to prepare forthis Sacrament of Initiation.

Please pray for the children making their first Holy Communion.
