As a school we are aiming for our whole school attendance to be higher than 95%. Please send your child into school every day. If they say they feel unwell, please check the NHS guidance for keeping them off school (this can be found on our website under Key Information, Attendance, Absence and how to report them)

Sacramental Programme

The Sacramental Programme

 

The Sacramental Programme consists of a series of meetings and celebrations for parents and their children (Year 4 or older in some cases) in preparation for receiving the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.

The Sacramental Programme is the means by which baptised children can complete their journey into full membership of the Catholic Church.  

 

Baptism is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation. 

 

The programme begins with the children presenting themselves to God and the parish, to say that they are now choosing to continue on their sacramental journey. At the sacrament of Baptism, parents made the decision for them, and now it is up to them. In Year 4 they will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) for the first time, and later receive First Holy Communion.

 

Each part of the programme is important, as it forms a part of the child's experience of God which will remain with them for the rest of their lives.  We hope this will be a very positive experience, and we trust that parents will support them every step of the journey.
