CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK

This year's Catholic Education Week's theme is 'I am making all things new,' Rev 21:5. All schools within the Diocese of Sale were invited to create a short video about what makes Catholic Education so special.

 

Here is what some of our students had to say about why they love Catholic Education...

Catholic Education Week will take place from May 17 - May 24. During this week we will hold Open Days and other activities that will celebrate our amazing school.

SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

In Term 2, the Year 6 students will learn about the Sacrament of Confirmation. 

 

The Sacrament of Confirmation is a significant milestone in the journey of faith for young Catholics. Building upon their baptismal promises, Confirmation is a sacred rite where individuals publicly affirm their commitment to the Catholic Church and receive the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through this Sacrament, they are strengthened to live out their faith with courage and conviction, empowered to be active participants in the Church's mission of spreading love, peace, and justice in the world. It's a joyful celebration of spiritual growth and a pivotal moment in one's lifelong relationship with God.

 

For those students who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, a number of activities have been organised:

  • Information and Parent Workshop will take place on Wednesday 24th April at 7.00pm and Wednesday 1st May at 7.00pm. Parents only need to attend ONE of these events and it is designed for parents only. 
  • Commitment Weekend for all Candidates: 4th/5th May. Please come along to ONE of the Masses over this weekend with your Year 6 child who is making the Sacrament of Confirmation.
  • Parent and Child Workshop will take place on Wednesday 8th May at 5.00pm and 7.00pm, Thursday 9th May at 7.00pm. Please Note: Parents and child need to attend only One session.
  • There will be a Sacramental Retreat for all Year 6 students making their Confirmation on Thursday 6th June at St Agatha's School.
  • The Sacrament of Confirmation Mass will take place on Sunday 18th August at St Agatha's Church.
