SACRAMENT OF HOLY EUCHARIST
Our celebration of the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist will be THIS Sunday June 2nd 2024. Here are a few reminders as you begin to prepare your family for this day:
- Our celebration takes place at Our Lady's Church in Craigieburn, next to our School.
- Mass begins at 2pm with students processing in with the celebrating priest
- Students receiving their First Holy Eucharist are asked to dress formally as this is a very special occasion.
- Families will be allocated half a row for immediate family (approximately 5-6 people including the child). Any invited guests should not take up another family's allocated seating and are limited to seating available without a reserved sign.
- All guests attending the celebration are reminded that this is celebration takes place in a Sacred Space and a prayerful reverence and silence is expected during those times in the Mass.
- Food, drink, photos and video are not permitted. We have our own photographer to capture these special moments.
