Sacrament of Reconciliation

On Friday 30^th May, fourteen special children received the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Father Joe, guided the children through the ‘Sacrament of Forgiveness.’ The children were supported by their families and classmates.

The children have prepared beautifully and demonstrated a readiness to take part in this next stage in their faith journey. It was heart-warming, to watch the children go to Father to undertake the Sacrament a little nervously and return with a big smile.

Afterwards, the children and their families shared in a special morning tea celebration.

Well done children on your hard work. A warm thank you to Father Joe and Mrs Carberry who assisted in the preparation.

New Altar Servers

This is an invitation for your child to become an Altar Server in our Parish. The children who have recently made their Reconciliation are now eligible to become an Altar Server.

Altar serving is an important role to undertake and we appreciate this valuable contribution to St Patrick’s Parish. The children will receive training to assist them in their new role.

The new Altar Servers and will be guided and instructed by children who have served on the Altar for some time as well as the Acolyte serving at Mass.

If your child would like to be an Altar Server and added to the roster, please complete the permission slip below and return it to School by Friday 13^th June. The new roster will commence after the next school holidays ready for Term 3.

Once we receive this information, we will organise a training session.
