Sacraments

The Seven Sacraments.

Christ gave us his Apostles and his Church to administer the Seven Sacraments, to help us lead a good life in this world and to help us reach Him after death.

The sacraments are pivotal events in a life journey and give special meaning to a person's life.

~~~~~~~~

The three sacraments of Christian initiation are Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist 

The two sacraments of healing are Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick 

The last two are Marriage and Holy Orders 

Sacramental Programme ~ Timeline 2021

 

FIRST RECONCILIATION

Tuesday 23 February 7pm - Parents meeting: Reconciliation.

It is essential that at least one parent/caregiver attends this session.

We explain what is involved in the programme and the expectation of parental involvement.  It’s an opportunity to ask questions and to explore what the sacrament of reconciliation is about so that you can walk with your child in an informed way.  If you cannot make this session, please let us know and arrange for a proxy adult to attend e.g. a godparent, or someone who is actively involved in the faith life of your child.
