First Holy Communion Programme 2025

FHC 2025 Online Programme

This online course is based on the I Belong book by the Redemptorists. It is supplemented by resources developed and compiled by the catechetical team of the Catholic parish of Bishop’s Stortford.

Welcome to the First Holy Communion Programme 2025. This page was created when the pandemic challenged us to deliver the entire programme online and can be used as a reference source. The course is still based on the book I Belong and it is split into six sessions with the sessions covering two chapters of the book, apart from the last session which covers only one chapter.

This portal aims to give parents everything they need to go over the chapters with their child, with support from our catechists, Fr Marco and Sophie Sullivan (our catechetical co-ordinator).

The parents’ guide sheets (which contain most of the materials covered on this portal) can also be downloaded below for easy reference.

Donations for FHC Books

We ask for a suggested donation to £20 to cover the costs of your child’s FHC book and parent’s guide (which are yours to keep), as well as the provision of other resources throughout the programme. More details.
