FHC 2021 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 2021. This year, the pandemic has challenged us to deliver the entire programme online. 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 Antonio and Sophie Sullivan (our catechetical co-ordinator).

Each session will go live two weeks before the deadline for its completion (as listed in the schedule below or you can also download the schedule). Please note that children are required to complete an online quiz after each chapter, the link to which are provided below and also on individual sessions’ page. The parents’ guide sheets (which contain most of the materials covered on this portal) can also be downloaded below for easy reference.

Children’s Virtual Meeting on 17 April

Fr Antonio and the team are offering another children’s live meeting. It will be taking place this coming Saturday, 17 April 2021 and will begin at 10am, lasting approximately half an hour. Check your email for the link to the virtual meeting.

New Image Gallery

We have a new gallery with images of important items and features inside St Joseph and the English Martyrs church. We encourage you to show the images to your children and discuss with them the significance of the objects that they can see. The gallery, which we hope to update regularly, is at the bottom of the page.

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.
