CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to our four year 3 students, Mason, Eden, Norah and Niamh who made  their first Holy Communion last Sunday along with some other students from our Parish.

We are very proud of this special step in their faith journey.

A REMINDER

Please continue to send your donations for the St Vincent De Paul Christmas hampers.  Whilst some classes are off to a great start there are still quite a few empty baskets throughout the school.  Imagine if each of our 336 school families were to contribute just one item...what a plentiful bounty we would be able to produce and what wondeful Christmas joy we would be able to pass onto others.

SACRAMENTS IN 2026

The Sacramental Programs here at St Patrick's commence early in Term 2 when year 3 students prepare to make their First Holy Communion.

In Term 3, our year 6 students are prepared to become full members of the Catholic Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation.

In Term 4 the year 2 students make their First Reconciliation.  

If your child would like to receive either one of these Sacraments, they must be baptised into the Catholic faith first.  Whilst non Catholics will still fully participate in the Sacramental Progams, they will not be able to receive the sacrament itself.

If you are considering having your child baptised please make enquiries with the Parish office now so as to avoid any possible disappointment next year.
