Parish Masses & Sacramental updates

SACRAMENTS- THE RITE OF RECONCILIATION

Dear Families our Sacramental program for 2021 is officially started.  Enrolments are closed.   I thank everyone who attended a Commitment mass over the last two weekends.  It is  always beautiful to see the children at Mass.

After this email, I hope to only send one a week and it should be on the Wednesday of each week.  So please  look out for the weekly update and take the time to read them as they will tell you where we are up to.

Today marks the beginning of Week One for the preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.   Parents are asked to please read the aims at the beginning of Week one in the purple Steps in Faith Workbook.  Then together with your child you are to complete the first week at home.   The songs can be accessed via google.  It should take approximately 30 minutes to complete the session.  We like to acknowledge the children’s work  so all the workbooks will be collected from the Children at our next Commitment Mass – please  encourage your children to take their time to finish the activities.  

·         If you do not have a purple Steps In Faith Workbook for your child you will need to come and pick one up from the parish office.  Office Hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 2pm.

·         If you feel that your family would like some help with completing the first two weeks in the purple workbook at home please let me know before this Wednesday via email.

I think that is it from me.   If you have any questions or concerns please contact me via email or by calling the parish office on Wednesday’s between 9am and 2pm. 

May our Lord bless  and guide you all as your begin this faith journey with your children.

Sincerely  Laura.
