Holy Eucharist Also known as First Holy Communion  To be eligible to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion, your child must be at least eight years old on 31 August of the year or Year 3 in school before the sacrament is received. Registration is usually in September and registration forms are available at the Church Porch in the September. If you have any queries/questions please contact the parish secretary at the presbytery. Parents of children not Baptised at St. Boniface Church must produce a Baptismal Certificate to register their child. What does the Church Teach? The holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist. At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Saviour instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.

Holy Orders The Sacrament of Holy Orders 1536 Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate. (On the institution and mission of the apostolic ministry by Christ, see above, no. 874 ff. Here only the sacramental means by which this ministry is handed on will be treated.) Why is this Sacrament called "Orders"? 1537 The word order in Roman antiquity designated an established civil body, especially a governing body. Ordinatio means incorporation into an ordo. In the Church there are established bodies which Tradition, not without a basis in Sacred Scripture,4 has since ancient times called taxeis (Greek) or ordines. And so the liturgy speaks of the ordo episcoporum, the ordo presbyterorum, the ordo diaconorum. Other groups also receive this name of ordo: catechumens, virgins, spouses, widows..... 1538 Integration into one of these bodies in the Church was accomplished by a rite called ordinatio, a religious and liturgical act which was a consecration, a blessing or a sacrament. Today the word “ordination” is reserved for the sacramental act which integrates a man into the order of bishops, presbyters, or deacons, and goes beyond a simple election, designation, delegation, or institution by the community, for it confers a gift of the Holy Spirit that permits the exercise of a “sacred power” (sacra potestas)5 which can come only from Christ himself through his Church. Ordination is also called consecratio, for it is a setting apart and an investiture by Christ himself for his Church. The laying on of hands by the bishop, with the consecratory prayer, constitutes the visible sign of this ordination.

The Seven Sacraments of the Chruch The sacraments of the Church are divided into the sacraments of Christian Initiation, the sacraments of Healing and the sacraments at the service of Communion and Mission. The Sacraments touch all the important moments of Christian Life. All of the sacraments are ordered to the Holy Eucharist "as to their end" (St Thomas Aquianas). 1210 - 1211 CCC. Sacraments of Initiation There are three Sacraments of Christian Initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist. They ground the common vocation of all Christ's disciples, a vocation to holiness and to the mission of evangelising the world. They confer the graces needed for the life according to the Spirit, during this life as pilgrims on the march towards the homeland. Sacraments of Healing There are two Sacraments of Healing - the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation and the Anointing of the Sick. Christ, the physician of our Soul and Body, instituted these sacraments because the new life that he gives us in the sacraments of Christian Initiation can be weakened and even lost because of sin. Therefore, Christ willed that his Church should continue his work of healing and salvation by means of these two sacraments (CCC 1420 - 1421, 1426). Sacraments at the Service of Communion and Mission These are two sacraments, Holy Orders and Matrimony. These confer a special grace for a particular mission in the Church to serve and build up the People of God. These sacraments contribute in a special way to Ecclesial communion and the salvation of others.

Anointing of The Sick Please let the priest know if a loved one is sick or admitted in the hospital. What does the Church teach? By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ. Illness in human life Illness and suffering have always been among the gravest problems confronted in human life. In illness, man experiences his powerlessness, his limitations, and his finitude. Every illness can make us glimpse death. Illness can lead to anguish, self-absorption, sometimes even despair and revolt against God. It can also make a person more mature, helping him discern in his life what is not essential so that he can turn toward that which is. Very often illness provokes a search for God and a return to him.

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Baptism Requirements for Baptism One of the parents must be a baptised catholic. Your family must live within the parish boundary to have their child/children baptised at St Boniface. If this is not the case you need to speak with your own parish priest to arrange the baptism at your parish church. OR If there is a special reason that you want your child/children baptised at St Boniface i.e. the you were baptised or married at St Boniface – then you will need to obtain a letter of permission from your parish priest. To arrange a baptism it is necessary to make an appointment with one of the priests who will complete an application form and make arrangements for you, (the parent(s)), to attend a series of instructions on the last Monday of the month at 7:30pm. These instructions are given by one of the priests. Baptisms are carried out, after the completion of the Baptismal Preparation course by parents, on the first & third Sunday of the month at 3:00 pm. All baptisms (including baptisms at St. George's Hospital) are entered in the baptismal register. Anchor 1 Please give three days notice if you require a baptismal certificate. There is a fee of £3.00 which is payable when the certificate is requested. What does the Church Teach? Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: “Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.” This sacrament is called Baptism, after the central rite by which it is carried out: to baptize (Greek baptizein) means to âœplunge†or “immerse”; the “plunge” into the water symbolizes the catechumen's burial into Christ's death, from which he rises up by resurrection with him, as “a new creature.”
