Holy Trinity Primary, Wantirna South

We congratulate all the children from Holy Trinity that received their First Eucharist during September.

The Eucharist is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation, important steps in the journey to becoming a full member of the Catholic Church (Baptism and Confirmation are the other two). During the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the students received the Blessed Host for the first time. Fr Jerald blessed the bread and wine, reminding us of when Jesus shared the Last Supper with his disciples.

We sincerely thank Fr Jerald for celebrating this important Sacrament. We also extend our gratitude to the families and staff for their support throughout the children’s Sacramental journey.

While many students were naturally nervous about receiving the Host for the first time, they were happy and relieved once the ceremony was completed. It was wonderful to have families and school staff supporting them on such a significant occasion in their faith journey. Afterwards, many families held celebrations to recognise this special milestone.

We held our Great Book Swap yesterday (17/9) and it was a fantastic success! Not only in terms of raising money for a worthy cause, but because of the buzz and excitement it created with our students! We raised approximately $350 for The Indigenous Literacy Foundation! Thanks to everyone for their support!
