Religious Education News

This year there have been some changes made to the Sacramental Program at St Patrick’s Parish.  One of these changes is that the Sacrament of Reconciliation will now be received by students in Year 4 or above.  As this change comes into effect in 2025, our current Year 3 students will not be participating in this Sacrament this year.  It does mean that from 2026, Year 4 students will be able to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. The preparation and celebration for these Sacraments will take place at different times of the year.  These dates will be communicated in early 2026.
