Llay-Rossett Parish Wrexham North Wales
Holy Communion

The Sacrament of First Holy Communion is an unforgettable meeting with Jesus, a day to be remembered as one of life's most beautiful.


The Eucharist, instituted by Christ at the Last Supper on the night before His passion, is a sacrament of the New Covenant - the greatest of the sacraments. In this sacrament, the Lord becomes food for the soul under the appearances of bread and wine.


Children receive this sacrament solemnly a first time in First Holy Communion and are encouraged to receive it afterward as often as possible in order to remain in close friendship with Jesus.


The last Group to receive their First Holy Communion took place May 2010.


This year in the parish of St Francis of Assisi, Llay and Christ the King, Rossett, children and their parents are attending preparation classes, and received their First Holy Communion on 3 July 2011.
