First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion

Our Year Three students and teachers have been very busy learning all about the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion within their classrooms over the last few weeks. Students who have chosen to make these Sacraments will make their First Reconciliation on the Thursday afternoon before their First Communion. First Holy Communion will take place in all three Masses over the next three weekends. To help prepare for these wonderful Sacraments, all children in Year Three, regardless of whether they are making their Sacrament, have been invited to a Retreat Day facilitated by James Sheahan students. This Retreat Day will be held tomorrow at James Sheahan and children learning all about First Holy Communion from St. Mary's School will also be in attendance. What a fabulous opportunity this gives to our students who are learning all about these important Sacraments. We wish Year Three students all the best in their preparation and learning. 

As part of the preparation for these important Sacraments, each Year Three class was presented with a special candle to commemorate their learning about First Holy Communion. This candle is a symbol of God's light shining over these students as they prepare and learn about the Sacraments.
