First Communion, First Reconciliation and Confirmation
What is happening this Year 2022-2023 within our Family of Parishes for the
celebrations of the Sacraments of First Communion, First Reconciliation and
Confirmation?
"Love has to be put into action and that action is service. To show great love for God and our neighbour we need not do great things. It is how much love we put in the doing that makes our offering something beautiful for God" Mother Theresa.
What are we doing?
Given the present vacant position of a Youth Co-Ordinator, your Priests, Parishioners and Parents will be taking this ministry on. Under the direction of Father Innocent and Father Pedro we now have a Plan!
OUR PLAN FOR JESUS
From now until December, your clergy are visiting the schools weekly speaking to all our students about the upcoming celebration of the Sacraments. During Covid, we have many students in our 6 Schools who missed the opportunity of celebrating their sacraments in Grade 2 and Grade 8. Today we are informed that we have many students, other than Grade 2 and Grade 8, who are wishing to celebrate these sacraments in Grades 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. During our visits to the classroom, we are hoping to get to know the students and vise versa; the students get to know us. We want to spend from now until Christmas building good relationships and inviting these students into an encounter with Jesus. Starting in January 2023, we will be sending out letters to all parents informing them of all the dates, preparation plans, and schedules. Starting in February 2023, registration begins. This will be communicated to all our parents of children who are attending both Catholic School and Public Schools. In the meantime, I ask everyone to keep our Sacramental Preparation Programs in their prayers as we roll out our new plan.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call:
