Week 8 - Reconciliation
Good afternoon Year 3Mc Parents and welcome to this this very important week in our faith journey.
Arrival Time & Dress - Please be at the Church by 5.20pm.
Your child is to be dressed in smart casual clothing. Upon arrival they will show you to your seat. Please be mindful that some of the pews are quite small so it will be for immediate family only (parents/siblings). There will be room in the choir loft for additional family members.
All students have a part to play in the service so please ensure they are seated in the Church by 5:20pm to enable them to prepare themselves for their part in the service.
Prayer Buddies - All prayer buddies are expected to attend...please let me know via email if you are unable to attend.
Rehearsals - We will be walking down to the Church on Tuesday from 11.30. This will help the students to feel confident in their preparations so they know what to expect.
During this time we will do the Examination of Conscience in which we ask the students to think and reflect upon what they would like to speak to the Priest about. It would be great if you could have a chat with your child to make sure they have something meaningful to share during their confession.
During the Receiving of the Sacrament - Please note this is a very important time...we ask that all family members are silent during this time to maintain the reverence associated with such an important event. We have spoken to the students at length about this and we ask you to role model appropriate behaviour.
When it is your child's turn to go up to the Priest - we will direct your child where to go.
You will go with your child to introduce them to the Priest and then return to your seat. Keep it simple "Hello Father, this is my son/daughter...".
If you are directed to one of the Priests on the sanctuary (up the front) please ensure that you bow to the altar before stepping up and after stepping down.
