Sacramental Programme for 
First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion

When children are in Year 3 they are eligible to make their First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion,​

​

The First Reconciliation program is held in Term 1 of the school year and First Holy Communion is generally held during Term 3. The past two years have meant changes but going into 2022 we hope this will happen. 

​

The children must attend four lessons of preparations for each Sacrament on Sunday mornings.

​

Sacramental Programme for Confirmation

The Sacrament of Confirmation is usually celebrated by the children in Years 5 or Year 6, after they have received their First Holy Communion, Confirmations are normally held every two years in the even years.  However, due to Covid-19 Confirmation was not held in 2020.
 

Confirmation was held in, 2021 in an effort to 'catch up' with those who missed being Confirmed in previous years.

​

We plan to hold Confirmations again in 2022 in our three parishes for those children who will be in
Years 5 and 6 in 2022 and then go back to regular bi-annual Confirmations.

​

Confirmation in 2022 will be held in St Mary's Cathedral but the preparation lessons will be held here in our parishes.
