Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation
Congratulations to our students who received the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist last weekend at the Sacred Heart Cathedral.
Abigail, Ava, Ava, Adrien, Blaine, Grace, Lily, Sam, Lauren, Jasper, Mia, Kyal, Tom and Olivia.
The Sacraments were celebrated with Bishop Shane McKinlay, Fr Brian Boyle and Fr DJ. Many thanks to the students, their families and staff who all played a very important part in the Sacramental Program and mass on the weekend.
Students who would like to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and Eucharist next year will need to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation this year. If you have any sacrament questions please contact Cassie cpolonowita@smkangarooflat.catholic.edu.au.
