Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation

 

Convenor:  Helen Moverley       Tel: 298 6156                     

Each year baptised children from the age of 7yrs, are invited to join the church’s sacramental programme to receive instruction regarding the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.  Helen is an experienced parish staff member, but just as important, she is a current parent of primary school aged children.  So she is very familiar with parental and younger children's needs and is happy to answer any concerns that you may have.    

A call for sacramental nominees  is published around each August / September in the church notices, before the end of the year the Introduction to Programme Parents Meeting is held.
Sacramental instruction begins in the new year, leading to the sacrament of reconciliation in March.
  Both sacraments of the Eucharistic and confirmation are received during the Easter Season at a ceremony officiated by Bishop Pat Dunn.  Afterwards children enjoy a celebratory meal together in the parish hall. Contact either Helen directly on 298 6156, or the parish office Tel 299 6056.
