Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) is the pathway families take towards their child’s First Holy Communion

First Holy Communion

GIFT (Growing in Faith Together) is an exciting way of supporting families to engage with their faith. Whether you are already engaged with your faith and the Church, looking for a way to become more engaged or seeking the sacraments for your child, GIFT is for you. Encouraging you to pray, talk about faith issues, and have more family time together is good, but we believe it is not enough.

We want to provide a place for you to learn what engaging with your faith actually looks like and then give you the opportunity to do it!

Saturday family sessions

Families are invited to come along on the second Saturday of each month (mostly). The sessions are engaging, spirit-filled and fun, and they are for all the family – even Grandma! We celebrate Mass, enjoy a time of fellowship and refreshment before sharing catechesis and activities. Each month we explore a different topic e.g., The Saints, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week.

Faith Formation for parents

Each month we gather with parents and catechists to explore our faith. These sessions are designed to help parents grow in their own faith, enabling them to lead their family on their journey of faith.

Virtual Resources

We also send home resources each month which families use on their own, exploring aspects of our Catholic faith.
