First Holy Communion, official photographs

Emmanuel Photography is the official photographer of the 2023 First Holy Communion ceremonies at Our Lady’s of the Annunciation.

There are three First Holy Communion mass services:

  • Saturday 13 May – 11.30am and 2.45pm
  • Sunday 14 May – 11.30am

We aim to catch your child’s memorable moments during the service, for example: reading; participating in the offertory; being presented with their certificate and, of course, receiving their First Holy Communion. 

We will also photograph the children as a group at the end of each service.

There will be one photographic gallery per child.

We will also take studio shots in the church hall before each service.

Photographs must be booked as there are limited spaces for the studio photography and also to set-up the personalised galleries.

Consent forms

Consent forms giving permission for us to photograph your child must be returned on the First Holy Communion rehearsals at 6pm in the church on:

  • Tuesday 9 May
  • Thursday 11 May
  • Wednesday 14 May
