Children who are in Year 3 of Junior School are
eligible to enrol on the preparation course for
Reconciliation and Holy Communion. The enrolment
is usually in September with an opening meeting
for parents.
The course followed is 'I belong' which involves
children and parents working together on themed
sessions using a workbook. These sessions are
helped with the support of catechists who work
and support the children and parents in monthly
meetings. The themes are celebrated in Parish
Masses and have the support of the whole
community. The preparation programme begins
after Christmas and ends at the end of June.

Older children who wish to receive this
Sacrament are prepared in a separate group for
the younger ones. Before application is made
parents should be regular in Mass attendance,
and if they have particular questions or needs
they should contact the Parish priest.
