Reconciliation Commitment Mass and Workshop

Good afternoon parents.

This term we are undertaking the Sacrament of Reconciliation and your children have commenced learning about and preparation for this Sacrament.  The majority of the preparation occurs within school time, although there are two sessions that are required to be attended prior to the Sacrament.

Reconciliation Workshop - This will be held on Tuesday 4th August beginning at 5:30pm in the Hall. This workshop includes activities that involve you and your child working together on a number of small activities.  Attendance at this meeting is compulsory for those students that are receiving this Sacrament. If you and your child are unable to attend, you will need to make an appointment with Fr Ian to go through the program.  If your child is not receiving the Sacrament, you and your child are more than welcome to join us.  Please let me know if you will be attending for catering and logistical purposes.

Reconciliation Commitment Mass - As has previously been communicated, this will be held on Friday 31st July in the school hall beginning at 10am.  Where possible, for those receiving Reconciliation, parents are required to attend and sit with their child during this mass. If you are unable to make it this Friday, you will need to attend another mass on one of the other weekends leading up to Reconciliation. On this occasion, please see Father Francis before the mass to inform him that you are their for the Sacrament Commitment, this way he can carryout the blessing with the congregation.  If you could also let me know by email if you will be there for the Sacrament Commitment, I can let Fr know.

Students will receive the Sacrament later in the term and we will run through this and more information regarding preparation and housekeeping at the Parent Workshop.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Sean McSevich and Paula Murphy.
