TERM 1: FIRST RECONCILIATION (YEAR 3 +)
This Sacrament is for children who are in Year 3 and above preparing for First Holy Communion and have been baptised in the Catholic Church.
For the Parish children there will be a compulsory summary and preparation lesson on Saturday 6 April 2024 starting at 4.30pm followed by 5.30pm Mass. Then on Saturday 4 May, 4.30pm the Parish children will be making their First Reconciliation followed by 5.30pm Mass.
The SMSJ School children will be receiving their First Reconciliation on Friday 20 September 2024 at their First Holy Communion Retreat. The school will provide further details.
The Enrolment Mass and Information session will be held on Sunday 17 March commencing with Mass at 5.30pm.
As part of the preparation for all Sacraments above, parents are encouraged to bring their children to one of our Parish Masses on each of the 4 weekends preceding the Sacrament your child is receiving. This will help the children enormously with the structure, rituals and understanding of our Catholic Mass as they develop their faith.
If you would like to enrol your child in one of these Sacraments or have any questions please contact the Sacramental Coordinators, Tricia and Elvira by email: smsjparish.mbb.sacramentprog@gmail.com.
