We hope that you and your loved ones are keeping safe and well. We are very excited to be able to share with you our proposed dates for all Sacraments this year in 2021.

As we know, last year we experienced an interruption to our scheduled Sacraments which resulted in reorganising all our Sacramental dates. In doing so, due to limited time our Year 3’s (2020) were unable to receive their Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Sacrament Dates for 2021

This year our current Year 4’s will be receiving their Sacrament of Reconciliation (Catch-up) before receiving First Holy Communion. Shortly, The School families will be receiving an Operoo Request for Sacramental enrolment. One will need to indicate which Sacrament(s) your child(ren) will be enrolled in this year and your preference for the date you would like your child(ren) to celebrate that particular Sacrament in 2021. If enroling to our After School Religious Program, please contact the Parish Office.

Thank you all for your continuous understanding and support through these very challenging times. Our school teachers, and catchetists as we speak, are preparing all enrolled students for their allocated Sacraments. All Sacramental Dates are as follows:

Sacrament of Reconciliation:
● Reconciliation Catch-up (Year 3's from 2020-that is current Year 4's) Thursday 6th May at 5pm & Thursday 13th May at 5pm Limit of 40 students per celebration / Each family will be able to bring 6 guests plus student

● Reconciliation: (Year 3 students 2021) Thursday 4th November at 5pm & Thursday 11th November at 5pm Limit of 40 students per Mass / Each family will be able to bring 6 guests plus student First Holy Communion: (Year 4 students 2021)

We will inform you very soon regarding the times for those dates and an Operoo message will be sent to parents. These new arrangements are based on the current COVID restrictions.
