Catholic Identity

Sacrament of Reconciliation

We have 15 students receiving the sacrament this year. As this is a school program all students in year 3/4 will participate in the lessons and learn about reconciliation, about how the choices we make can break relationships with one another and with God and that forgiveness can be given and received by and from each other and God in order to heal these relationships.

These are the remaining important dates for those receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation and anyone wishing to support them. 

Thursday 17th August - Session 4

Parents and Parishioners welcome 2.30 - 3.30pm in 3/4 classrooms 

Followed by a family gathering. Parents to attend with candidates. 3.45pm - 4.30pm

Tuesday 22nd August 

Reconciliation 6.00pm - St Monica’s Church.

Mass - 9.30am Fridays

Most Fridays a class will be joining the parishioners for Mass at St Monica's Church.

This will help connect our school with the parish.
