First Communion
Thank you to the families with children in Year 4 preparing for their First Communion this year, who attended our first Formation Session last Thursday evening. These families have also attended a commitment Mass where parents presented their children to the Parish community at one of our Masses over the weekend.
A reminder that our second Formation Session is this Thursday, 1st August at 6pm in the church. As discussed at our session last Thursday evening it has been decided that Masses for the celebration of First Holy Communion will be on the one weekend of 7th and 8th September.
Religious Curriculum at St Thomas Aquinas
Year 4 are busy learning about the Sacraments of Healing in the Catholic Church and how these make a difference for believers. Some of our Year 4 students received the Sacrament of Reconciliation earlier this year. All of our Year 4s attended a Healing Mass last term where the sacrament of anointing of the sick occurred. It is early days but we are already making links with these healing sacraments and our journey of reconciliation with our Indigenous brothers and sisters.
