Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation

Children will begin their preparation to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist at the beginning of Term Two.  These Sacraments will be celebrated on Sunday June 2nd at Sacred Heart Cathedral with Bishop Shane McKinlay as the celebrant. 

 

If your child has received the Sacrament of Reconciliation and wishes to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and Eucharist please email Cassie at cpolonowita@smkangarooflat.catholic.edu.au to let us know by the end of this term.

 

Preparation for these Sacraments will involve a whole group meeting at school and then classroom sessions. (listed below)  Parents are welcome to attend all or as many classroom sessions as their work/ life schedule can allow. There will also be set homework activities which parents need to work through with their child.

Throughout the school, all classes are teaching about the Sacraments as part of their Religious Education work.
