Year 3 Reconciliation 

In preparation for our Year 3 students who are completing their first Sacrament of Reconciliation, all students have been preparing by listening to parables about how we sometimes miss the mark but how God will always forgive us. They have participated in Godly Play about the Parable of the Lost Sheep. This parable teaches us that God loves every single person, like the  Shepherd in this story that leaves 99 sheep to find one lost lamb. When the lost sheep is found there is great joy, showing that God welcomes back anyone who has strayed and loves them no matter what.

Below are prayers written by students with the theme of forgiveness
