Eucharist
Program & Other Sacramental Dates
As has been communicated previously, Fr Eric our Parish Priest, in consultation with the school has made the following arrangements in relation to the celebration of the Sacraments.
Our Baptised Roman Catholic Students in Year 5 and in Year 4 will make their First Eucharist at one of the following Parish Masses beginning the end of July.
Sacrament of Eucharist
(Catholic Students in Year 4 and Year 5 2021)
Students will make their First Eucharist at one of these Masses
Saturday 31st July 6pm
Sunday, Sunday 1st August 10am
Saturday 7th August 6pm
Sunday 8th August 10am
Saturday 14th August 6pm
Sunday 15th August 10am
To this end, Catholic students will within the next week receive a letter from the Parish asking you to nominate preferences to the above Masses. Please note that some families may not receive their first preference.
Preparation for the Sacrament
The students will undergo preparation in their Religious Education lessons here at school
In addition to preparation at school, a booklet with instructionwill come home for each student from the Parish. This workbook is designed to be completed at home by the student with parents assisting.
Family involvement, supports the very important principle that the Parents are the First Educators of Faith.
How many people from the Family can attend the First Eucharist?
Given the current COVID Restrictions and numbers allowed in the Church, please note that 4 people only, including the child making the First Eucharist can attend the First Eucharist Mass. We will be following any COVID updates as they come to hand. This may mean changes to arrangements.
Sacrament of Confirmation
(Catholic Students in Year 6 2021 and Year 7 Catholic Students who attended SJV)
Our hope would be that students will make their Sacrament at one of these Masses
Monday October 11th 7:30pm
Tuesday October 12th 7:30pm
Further information relating to Confirmation will be sent home to you in 3rd term
