Year 3 Sacrament of Reconciliation

The children of Year 3, along with two other children from our Parish, are currently preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. This is a significant milestone in their faith journey, and we are honoured to walk alongside them during this special time.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation, often referred to as Confession or Penance, is one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church. It provides an opportunity for individuals to experience God’s boundless love, mercy, and forgiveness. Through this sacrament, the children will reflect on their actions, seek forgiveness for their sins, and deepen their relationship with God. It is a beautiful moment where they can feel God’s grace and healing presence in their lives.

We invite all families in our school and parish community to join us in praying for these children as they prepare for this sacrament. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to guide them with wisdom and courage as they grow in their understanding of God’s love. May this sacrament be a time of peace and renewal for them and their families.

October is Mission Month

Mission Month Resources

Each year the Church celebrates World Mission Month every October, with Mission Sunday, the highpoint, this Sunday the 18th of October. 

This term in Religion, our students are exploring the inspiring work of Catholic Mission. For 2026, the theme is 'One in Christ, United in Mission'. This unity calls us to see one another as sisters and brothers, working together to bring the Good News to life in every corner of the world. In a world often marked by division and isolation, mission invites us to build bridges of compassion, solidarity, and hope.

As one body in Christ, we are called to journey together, to listen, to serve, and to share the love that transforms hearts and communities. Whether near or far, each act of faith and generosity strengthens our communion and reveals the face of Christ among us.

A key fundraiser for Catholic Mission is Socktober. On Friday the 30th October, we will come together for a special Mass to celebrate All Saints Day and Missions. On the day, each child will be asked to bring in a Gold Coin donation with all funds raised this year supporting the work of Catholic Mission. During the day, we will come together as a school to participate in some fun 'sock' games.

Together, let us support Catholic Mission’s vital work and encourage our children to live out our faith through generosity and action. Thank you for your ongoing support!
