First Reconciliation & Sacraments in 2021

First Reconciliation

Next week as we 'catch up' on our 2020 Sacramental celebrations, Year 3 & 4 students, will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time on Wednesday 24th March at 6pm or 7:30pm. All families should have nominated a time and returned the note listing who will be attending the liturgies. 

I hope the families who participated in the Family Night Google Meet enjoyed the opportunity to take time to focus on the Sacrament of Reconciliation and share their thoughts and reflections. Mr Welsford and I were certainly amazed by the children's responses as they shared what they had learnt that night. Tomorrow as final stage in our preparations we will be celebrating Reconciliation Reflection Day, at school and all Year 3/4 students may wear casual clothes. 

It is wonderful to see how the children have engaged themselves in the learning around this most special step on their faith journey. Especially our Year 4 students who last year prepared for First Reconciliation, only to have our first lockdown occur days before the liturgies. Please remember all the candidates in your prayers.
