Registration for our next course starting January 2026 has officially closed.
However, a few places are still available so if you have missed the deadline and your child is in Year 3 or above, you can:
VIEW AND DOWNLOAD the dates and timings of classes and other events HERE. There are ten classes, held on term-time Saturdays in the Parish Hall. Candidates attend with a parent. Note that classes take place at various times. Candidates, together with a parent, are expected to attend ALL sessions, so only register your child if you can commit to all.
CONTACT THE FIRST HOLY COMMUNION TEAM at purleyfhc@rcaos.org.uk to request an electronic registration form. You’ll be required to upload a recent passport-style portrait photo (head & shoulders) of the candidate and a copy of his/her baptism certificate. You will be given details of how to pay the registration fee of £27.50* which covers books, materials, office costs and church decorations. Communication will be by e-mail so your e-mail address must be an account that you monitor regularly. Complete a separate registration form for each candidate.
*Please speak to the Parish Priest if the fee presents a problem; we do not want any child to miss out on preparation for the sacraments because of financial hardship.
