Education in Faith

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Dear Parents,

On Wednesday the 3rd of March the students in 3/4CM received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. We congratulate you on continuing their faith journey through these challenging times of cancellations, online workshops, no parents able to attend and then parents able to attend. Hopefully we can get through the rest of the classes Reconciliations without any further changes. 

A Prayer for your child ( from the Rite of Forgiveness Ceremony)

Jesus we love you. 

You forgive us when we do not care enough. 

You help us forgive others. 

Thank you for caring for us and 

inviting us to grow in your love. 

Help us to open our minds and hearts 

to receive your forgiveness in the 

Sacrament of Reconciliation today. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord. 

Amen
