Children in Year 4 are prepared for First Communion and Reconciliation by the parish, following a tailored programme that allows parents, children and parish to work together in developing their understanding of the sacraments, in conjunction with regular Mass attendance.
Through the Religious Education Curriculum in school, clear links are made to the Sacramental preparation, and at celebrations throughout the year, School and Parish come together to support the children and their families.
RECONCILIATION
The Sacrament of RECONCILIATION (First Confession) will be celebrated with the children on the day of the Holy Communion rehearsal at church (St Agnes & St Aidan’s) . Parents are invited to this short service and will be informed of the date and time once it has been confirmed.
