Parish Sacramental Programs
Last week, a letter went home to children in Years 3 and 6 who have been baptised in the Catholic faith regarding the Sacramental programs being offered in our parish this year. If you would like to enrol your child in any of the programs this year, and you have not yet returned your enrolment form to Father Damien or Deacon Mick, please do so this weekend so numbers can be finalised. (NB: Enrolment forms are to be returned at Mass. Please do not return them to the school.)
As indicated on the note that was sent home, for those enrolled in this year’s Reconciliation program, there is an information night scheduled for next Thursday night, 23 February. This meeting will take place in St Francis of Assisi Church at 6 pm.
On the weekend of the 25 and 26 February, those enrolled in the Reconciliation program will attend a Commitment Mass in preparation for their lessons which begin in Week 6.
